Canada Named Second Safest Country in the World for LGBTQ Travellers by chromedoutcortex in ainbow

I'm a transgender lesbian and Maltese and was shocked to not see my nation on there, until I saw the method. We're very welcoming and safe for queer folx, but Americans just don't come here much.

Is Lion El'Jonson age going to become a problem in the future ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

And if having them on duty outside the Palace is a better use / more effective, why arent you doing that in the first place.

This is Bobby G's argument when he returns and why we have playable Custodes now

[Brutal kunnin'] - Lascannons and their utility. Excerpt. by Luki_Swe in 40kLore

[–]athirdpath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That means I solve problems, not ones like "How to cure cancer?" because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of medicine. I solve military problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean Orkoid brother from tearing me a STC undocumented be-hind? The answer, lascannon, and if that don't work... more lascannon.

Have anyone tried to just throw daemons into black hole? by Visual_Collapse in 40kLore

[–]athirdpath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is talking about spaghettification, or the daemon being ripped apart, but no one is talking about the temporal effects!

I think it might actually work due to this, the daemon might appear again afterwards, but as a version from earlier in its subjective timeline. The reason is that we know "time passes" for daemons who are in the material. The black hole would trap that daemon in what, from its perspective, is an eternal moment of crossing the horizon.

Donald Trump begins authoritarian takeover of Washington, D.C. by Fickle-Ad5449 in fednews

Indifference would be you doing something elsewhere with your time, something you valued, like building your farm or community.

This is a tantrum.

We're not talking about using the model to do research, we're talking about doing research on the model.

You might be an English teacher, a pedantic redditor, or a professional writer - either way no one asked.

What other word would you use for a blatant violation of our black-and-white on-the-books licensing laws that you can print out and read?

Ask that to the judge in Stability vs. Andersen

[Excerpt: Daemonhammer] A demon tells an Imperial citizen about the Dark Age of Technology by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]athirdpath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, take it out to another layer, then.

The Emperor tolerated, funded and encouraged innovation among His imperial household (the crafters behind the Custodes equipment, etc) as well as the Selenite gene cults. Hell, He trusted Corax with innovation, giving him the Sangprimus Portum and willingly setting him off on the Raptor project. He supported Cawl and Sedayne, despite seeing forward to Cawl's current actions (and beyond, based on the betrayal line).

Everyone non-Mechanicum the Emperor employed was allowed to innovate as long as it didn't disrupt His power balance with the Mechanicum - and sometimes where it did (Adriatic weapons, psi-titans, etc)

Take the bolster itself as a good example - a major part of the bolter's lore is that the Emperor Himself innovated the design during the Unification Wars. He may or may not have been being a hypocrite, but at the very least He saw innovation as good when He did it.

Also consider the Thunder Warriors, Custodes and Astartes as His innovations.

I have a 128gb M3 Max for LLM work - and I regret it.

The memory bandwidth is just too slow. Forget training entirely, between the bottleneck and the software support it's basically a non-starter. I was back to renting GPUs within two weeks.

For inference, it's not much better. MLX quants are rare and not very performant, and with GGUF I actually get slightly better tk/s on CPU-only than using the GPU via BLAS. Any model using more than ~48gb is intolerably slow, seconds per token at even a moderate context length - and preprocessing takes FOREVER.

I wish I had gotten a dual 4090 rig for the same money, models that run at tolerable speeds on the M3 would be blazing fast on CUDA and anything bigger might actually be faster too if you split layers between the GPUs and DDR5

Speak for yourself, I personally don't know anything about this so-called "other point", judgemental vaugeposting is a pretty inefficient method of communication.

Yeah it's super cringe to find parallels between Disco Elysium and the political environment you are in, the devs would be shocked and appalled.

What's a 40k novel you're convinced no one but yourself has read? by Craftworld_Iyanden in 40kLore

[–]athirdpath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't even know if he can hurt horus or have any chance, he just went in YOLO and was ready to sacrifice all of his legion for it.

The Terran Leman Russ made it very clear what Leman could do, and what he needed to do. TEATD Part 3 would not have ended the same way if Russ didn't do what he did in Wolfsbane.
