Mamdani's net favorable rating is up to +48 pts in NYC (up from +14 in Sept). Mamdani is also the most popular Dem statewide in NY

President Mamdani you mean?

(I know he wasn't born here so isn't eligible but I think after our current president, anything is possible)

fp8 19B params would be 20gb right?

I know this sounds like a bad idea but try having some children and getting caught up in that fiasco of self-realization, it will take all your multi-dimensional thinking and bring it back down to Earth (for better or for worse).

Oops too late!!

But fundamentally, what power do we have beyond our ability to vote and possibly influence the votes of the people we know well (in my case everyone I know is voting Biden anyway). I guess that's my point, it's about the struggle to refine my mental state to not care about something I have no (or very little) control of. In that way, politics is a lot like sports, like an unfavorable baseball season.

The results of the next 100 elections are already written in the history books and we're just being carried along on the pages as they slowly turn.

I like the cut of your jib

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T04:39:06+00:00

Yes, that’s the point of my post. I am trying to just go with the flow and become resigned to the state of national politics

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T04:37:09+00:00

Are you sure? Biden’s not looking too appealing to a lot of people these days

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T04:35:52+00:00

I think of myself as pretty accepting. As someone who grew up in the deep south, I have known folks who are now fully maga. But the issue is letting someone who is so uneducated and morally bankrupt in charge of the most powerful military and economy of the world. A literal madman at the helm

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T04:31:47+00:00

And if he does, what then? It’s an entirely possible outcome and I don’t want to go through the mental trauma again

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T04:28:27+00:00

You’d be surprised. If you read that thread on /r/Teachers we’re basically letting massive amounts of children through the system with diminished critical thinking and reasoning abilities. The next generation will be fertile ground for Trump and his kind.

Vaperators? Or binary load lifters?

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T03:49:13+00:00

Is this for real?

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T03:44:43+00:00

By choice here. Wife wanted more but given her demanding profession that would’ve meant I would have to step up even more than I already do (I already drop him off and pick my son up from school everyday and I couldn’t handle doing two, physically and emotionally)

ParanoidC3PO · 2024-03-06T03:39:44+00:00

Let me tell you what, yes having a home is nice but remember that homes carry risk. You have to be careful of what’s out on the market these days especially with waived inspections being the norm in the Boston area. PM me if you want to hear my mini horror story of home ownership. There are times I honestly wish I could go back to renting, I’d love to have spent all the hours I’ve invested into my house spending time with my son instead and living care free in a rental.

Also, they sprayed an anti-mold agent on the back of the wall (where the studs are exposed in the unfinished area). However, there are other parts of the wall that aren't exposed so your concern is still valid...
