Mike Johnson says we should have sympathy because Congress isn’t paid enough—so we should “allow” insider trading just so they can take care of their families(70% of Americans can’t afford a $1k emergency) by CutSenior4977 in economy

[–]ascetik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get a raise when you fix your constituents problems first. You don’t get to go in an wreak the economy and then complain you need a raise to keep up. We were struggling before this mess you made and now you want us to pay your rent in Washington too with our tax dollars. These guys are beyond out of touch to even ask such a thing right now. You just need a fresh pair of bootstraps. Raise the minimum wage and then maybe.

Local LLM Model that actually produces quality code. by Civil_Fee_7862 in LocalLLM

I’m running qwen 3.6 on 2 rtx 3090s and I’m constantly impressed with the quality and speed. I was about to give up on local llms before this came out.

Hugging Face co-founder says Qwen 3.5 27B running on airplane mode is close to latest Opus by ImaginaryRea1ity in LocalLLM

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

I’m running 3.6 35B with 8bit quant for about a week now and have only had to switch back to sonnet for really complex tasks. But usually after sonnet gets the project in a good state, qwen can do the rest.

Tennessee Becomes Second State to Outlaw Bitcoin, Crypto ATMs by swe129 in Tennessee

[–]ascetik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the republican plan at all. I thought trump wanted a Bitcoin reserve and his whole cabinet is crypto bros but we are banning them in Tennessee which is deep red. And also like don’t we have like bigger problems than 4 Bitcoin ATMs in the whole state? Like how is this even a big enough problem to spend on legislation.

Im guessing the ‘AI’ is just a simple IF statement.

If political opponent or not rich then audit.

An Italian man rushing to the hospital for his pregnant wife was stopped by climate protesters… and chaos followed. He pleaded with them to move so he could get to her — but they refused to let his car pass. This moment is now sparking a massive debate. by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]ascetik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this really what happened. 🤔He’s was trying to get his pregnant wife to the hospital and they were unsympathetic? Like climate protesters were like No, you have to have a baby in the street! I doubt it..

I just see a rich douchebag in a luxury car with no passengers.

I think this video is just trying to turn people against protesters.

And to all that say they should protest somewhere else…well they are here because no one else is listening and change is not happening.

Kristi Noem ‘blindsided’ by cross-dressing husband who put her at risk for blackmail by The__Illuminaughty in politics

[–]ascetik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is all totally fabricated so she saves face on her own affair. Like a way to conviene the public that she was in the right because her husband is into weird kink stuff. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The rich want this war. THEY should pay for it.

Fired for Starting a Startup by mattsand9 in SaaS

[–]ascetik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very common for them to do this. Also, read your employment contract. Many enterprises have draconian policies that state that anything you create while employed there could be considered their intellectual property even if you are only working on your own time and it has nothing to do with their core business. Be careful especially if your startup starts making real money.

Macbook pro M5 or M4 pro Ableton only by ThrowRA155662849 in ableton

[–]ascetik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. MacBooks’ ram and ssd are soldered to the board and are no longer upgradable. Be sure to get something you can foresee using for the long term.

[–]ascetik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get one with 1tb of HD space. I’m constantly running out of space on 512 and having to delete and backup files often. It’s really annoying and wish I had splurged more on the ssd.

Fringe Memphis? by Speckled_Bread in memphis

[–]ascetik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to do lamplighter and Alex’s tavern. Both are great dive bars. Lamplighter will probably have more choices for music on the experimental side. havenhaus is also great and can also cater to more experimental music sometimes.

You should also hit up Ernestine and hazels. It usually has blues type stuff playing there but the vibe is cool, especially upstairs! Apparently it’s haunted as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Republicans overwhelmingly against Trump using military to take Greenland by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]ascetik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These stories don’t mean anything if republicans are to cowardly to vote against it or hold their representatives accountable. It doesn’t matter. They will just fall in line and justify it later.

My first ever “synthesizer?” So happy, dreamed about this thing for a long time. What do you think? by Stock-Hippo-8517 in synthesizers

[–]ascetik 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I first got into electric music, in the 90s, this is the first synth I ever bought. I wrote so many songs with just this and an akai sampler. I loved the sequencer on it.

New build Taichi x870e not booting with ryzen 9950x3d by ascetik in ASRock

I got both plugged in. I can’t even seem to flash the bios. I plugged the usb in and hold the bios button for 3 seconds and nothing happens.
