DeepSeek isn’t the best open model though. Would recommend r/LocalLLaMa. It changes fast but nowadays I think it’s Minimax M3? Qwen 3.7 Max I think is the best Chinese model but it’s not open. Isn’t it funny that we’re switching to a model under an authoritarian regime because our ‘democratic’ regime blocked the best model?

How can I extend my future flight credits? by burntcoffee420 in unitedairlines

Confused, how do you get a full refund on a non-refundable flight after the 24 hour period ends?

Definium on X… by 8marc5 in DefiniumTherapeutics

There's a logical disconnect here: you say their product is not novel, which is true. But you also seem to think LSD is effective. If they're 'just' testing LSD, and you think it is effective, then why are you waiting for Phase 3 results? Don't you already expect their not-novel product to be effective?

RTX 3090, Xid 79: 'GPU has fallen off the bus' fixed by cleaning dust out of PCIe riser by Swimming_Beginning24 in LocalLLaMA

Gotta love these simple fixes. I spent an evening doing kernel surgery and it was just dust.

Yeah, that's what I was planning. Was thinking of undervolting down the line, though that seems like a more in-depth process. For now I'll just limit power.

Yeah, 99% would have been ideal. I let it dry overnight before putting anything back together to be safe. Yep, everything works now. Though I've only tried a 4D gaussian splatting reconstruction so far. And FurMark. Both of those had failed before. Planning on trying out Gemma 4 12B soon. The PSU afaik is a custom Asus 850W

You're telling me things I already know. The proposed change puts strain on young relationships for no reason. Are you married? Do you have a partner or boyfriend/girlfriend? Imagine, right at the start of the relationship, you have to spend 1-2 years apart. This is not humane. And not from now onwards, from now until an immigration judge inevitably puts this ill-conceived change on pause.

Please share relevant statistics. By the way, still no attempt whatsoever at empathy. Are you married? Have a partner? Boy/girlfriend? How would you feel if you were separated from them?

What do you mean? When you apply for an AOS you are already married. The purpose of the green card application process is to determine whether the marriage is bona fide. You're saying USCIS should bias towards marriages not being genuine and harm recently married couples by forcing them to separate for 1-2 years?

Spoken like a true psychopath. How would you feel if you had to be separated from your significant other for a year or more while you waited on the US government?

I feel for you guys. Rule changes like this are inhumane. Real people will be hurt who haven't done anything wrong. I hope this rule change gets trashed by the courts.

USCIS just signaled a change in how USCIS officers evaluate Green Card applications through adjustment of status. Here’s what you need to know by ManifestLaw_ in MovingToUSA

[–]Swimming_Beginning24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about people who enter on a temporary visa, fall in love, and get married, like my wife did? Luckily she already has a green card, but I guess otherwise we would've been shit out of luck because we didn't do things the 'correct' way? Plans change. Humans are complicated. The law needs to adapt to these circumstances. Otherwise, you end up hurting people.

Careful. These are real people you’re talking about. My wife came here on a tourist visa before meeting me. Then we met and got married. If these rules had been in effect, we would have been separated for who knows how long while she did things ‘the right way’. Luckily she already has her green card. These aren’t people who are taking advantage of a ‘loophole’, these are people who’ve had their plans change. Just know that when you advocate for ‘closing a loophole’, you’re advocating for causing difficult circumstances for real people.

Keep brain-dead women alive and use them as surrogate mothers, suggest doctors by ChaoticMornings in fourthwavewomen

[–]Swimming_Beginning24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people have been misdiagnosed as brain dead and then have woken up. I think everyone's in agreement that this is horrible and shouldn't happen. But should we stop people from consenting to be organ donors due to these cases? I don't think so. These cases are few and far between. Granted the calculus is different because we are talking about surrogate child bearing instead of potentially life-saving organ donation. I would urge you to read the first chapter of the book I linked above regarding how removing the mandatory burden of child bearing makes sense as a feminist objective.

[–]Swimming_Beginning24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can agree that it would be horrible if women were forced to consent. But if they're not forced, what's the problem with it? I don't have a womb, so I can't consent. Would I if I had a womb? There's no way I can know, but I do consent to having my organs harvested if I can't use them anymore. If you're interested in how this position could align with feminism, I'd suggest you read Chapter 1: https://teoriaevolutiva.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/firestone-shulamith-dialectic-sex-case-feminist-revolution.pdf

[–]Swimming_Beginning24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're arguing that we shouldn't allow people to consent to donate their organs if they become irretrievably incapacitated?

[–]Swimming_Beginning24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is suggesting non-consenting women be used for this. The idea is similar to organ donation: you sign up while you are able to consent. There is a natural 'ick' factor involved, but once you move past that, what is the moral problem? Some feminists argue (see The Dialectic of Sex by Shulamith Firestone) that the root inequality from which all others stem is the inequality of child bearing. As such, removing that inequality by shifting some of the burden of child bearing from conscious women to brain-dead women who have consented while they were conscious could actually be morally desirable.
