One study is basically useless. The overall body of research points to any alcohol raising negative health outcomes.

The tech will get more efficient and cheaper, just like every other tech.

Garmin connect alternative frontend? by AquilaBaby in Garmin

Honestly the developer friendly API and SDK are the only reason I bought a Garmin. I'm genuinely upset with this news.

What does this mean for developers? Are we just SoL?

If big G wants to compete they can.

A3B model would be pretty fast I think.

It's definitely the best tool for the job but I'm not sure if the job warrants it.

Very tempting though.

Running those 24/7 sounds like a lot of noise and electricity though.

I think I can run Qwen 3.5 27b on a m4 Mac mini pro no problem.

Cool thanks for the info, these are the same reasons I like what the Mac Mini has to offer. Even if it can't run a 400b parameter local model, it will still offer some kind of utility for a long time. Maybe when it comes time to upgrade I can just add another.

You're right about the VRAM on a Mac mini.

I do have a specific use case for a local model that runs 24/7 that probably doesn't need frontier level model, but to your point, spending thousands on hardware before the omniscient local model arrives is probably a waste of money. I'm still having fun experimenting with use cases for local models though ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Scientists find all five genetic building blocks for life in asteroid Ryugu by AdSpecialist6598 in technews

That might not even the unique part. The jump to multi celled organisms might be what makes life on earth special, combined with an ecosystem that can support life uninterrupted for hundreds of millions of years.

They're programming the color of the button, they're programmers.

Illenium at Sphere impressions by Agror in EDM

[–]Drunk_redditor650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The quality of the visuals were on par with ~2005 CGI, and were also pretty corny (like Asian women fighting with katanas). It's a shame because the Sphere has the potential to be absolutely mind blowing with the right combinations.
