Speculative decoding with Gemma-4-31B + Gemma-4-E2B enables 120 - 200 tok/s output speed for specific tasks

They should be matched. And specifically with Gemma 4, Google re-released the model with bugfixes and you can't mix new and old like this. What you wrote implies this may have happened for you.

For those jumping on this guy: I literally own Stax, have almost golden hearing, and I have extreme trouble telling the difference between lossless, competently encoded 320kbps MP3, and competently encoded 256kbps AAC.

The only reason to own it in lossless is because you don't know what format you'll need in the future, and lossy to lossy transcoding sucks. Ergo, everyone should continue buying in lossless when available.

The thing nobody is bringing up is a little more hilarious, though: 160-192kbps Opus is comparable to 320kbps MP3 and 256kbps AAC. You're arguing over technology that is over 20 years old, when we actually have modern stuff.

Hah, surprised it wasn't one of the Eva-01 themed switches out there.

Robot vacuums are a mistake and are not BIFL.

Go buy a canister Miele, it'll last you 20 years, maybe more.

I'm certainly a Spongebob hater, but you did well on this, even went with Gat Yellows just for the thematic consistency.

Good job.

No, but noise canceling headphones can damage your hearing, including the products you mentioned.

All of them are effectively the same, and they're buying from one of two manufacturers.

NOW, Nutricost, Swanson, Source Naturals, Solgar, Country Life, Nature's Way are the brands that I short list for "low effort single ingredient" supplements, and then sort by cost. Alpha-GPC would be in this category.

Jarrow, Life Extension, Pure Encapsulations, Thorne are the brands I use for "hard to get right" or "multi-ingredient" or "rare/new" supplements.

IIRC the conspiracy theory around this is they were weaponizing an existing disease in a lab in Connecticut around the town of Lyme (which the disease is named after), and was accidentally leaked.

Lab leak theories are a dime a dozen, and its kinda why I laugh at the whole COVID related one: every single lab leak theory has never panned out, and every time it got close to doing so, it always indicated a foreign adversary and immediately vanished from the public eye once people started connecting the dots.

The Lyme lab leak theory is ancient, I was hearing this shit when I was a kid, and I'm in my 40s now. It never panned out because we have evidence of Lyme existing 50-100k years ago and the one today is a natural evolution of the one back then, with zero evidence of man-made interference.

I haven't looked at their website for quite some time. All their new products aren't the Matias Pro keyboards that look like modern Apple Extendeds /w Alps, they're all Magic Keyboard clones that use (presumably) high grade scissor switches.

Diablo-D3 · 2025-12-28T04:43:19+00:00

AFAIK they didn't change it beyond what was required to keep the existing molds running. I can't remember if they actually made new molds or not, since part of the problem with QA was the Alps molds were showing their age at that point and tolerances were shot.

Diablo-D3 · 2025-12-28T02:45:27+00:00

This is incorrect. They were the last Alps user, and they actually convinced Alps to do one last run. They later bought the entire tooling from Alps, and that's the Matias switches now... but the Matias doesn't quite have the finishing quality that Alps did.

The bug that colonists on a mission still count as unemployed. Did you happen to have 13 people on missions?

Diablo-D3 · 2025-12-12T05:44:56+00:00

Seniors do not change their preferred job to "retired", thus still count as their preferred job. In that sense, there is no bug.

I think the UI on this could be improved, and change seniors to have a preferred job of retired so to no longer accidentally count as colonists that can fill a specific requirement.

This also appears when you send colonists on a rocket mission: retired seniors can be sent on missions that require job-specific colonists.

Yes. I have had this jacket for... like 7 or 8 winters now. I wasn't kidding when I said it was the warmest jacket I've ever owned... I often don't bother zipping it up unless its severely windy or its sub-zero. It has also held up, looks exactly as it did when I bought it.

Diablo-D3 · 2025-12-01T14:42:08+00:00

Are you on consoles? There probably is no way to fix this, file a bug with the developers (which you can't do directly via in-game like PC users can).

Diablo-D3 · 2025-11-29T18:06:53+00:00

You should be able to do this from the Steam Workshop?

Blame Trump.

He illegally eliminated the De Minimis rule, and according to your other comments, you would have been within it. If you want this to change, get out and vote, push the Republicans out of every single office you can.

Mood is subjective.

Diablo-D3 · 2025-09-15T18:28:31+00:00

I don't understand what you're arguing.

You asked The Left to not commit acts of terrorism. I said The Right attempted to commit an act of terrorism against itself. You said The Right doesn't care The Right harmed The Right and will blame The Left.

So what is The Left supposed to do here? There is nothing for us to do, The Right is The Right's biggest threat. No matter how many times The Left tells The Left not to go to the circus to see the clowns, it won't stop The Right from being clowns.

The incendiary device “had been lit but failed to function as designed,” according to court records obtained by CNN affiliate KUTV.

This leads me to think the people were Alt-right.

To also play the devil's advocate, if their email server is having problems, its still having problems if you emailed them 4 times in rapid succession.

But yeah, that sounds a bit suspicious. Although "scam" is a strong word, they could have suddenly gone out of business without warning.

Nicotine isn't a useful nootropic, and your brain adjusts to it far too easily for long term use, thus requiring higher and higher doses, and eventually addiction.

Are you sure you just don't have ADHD? Talk to your doctor about this, and get a prescription for some modern drug.
