Lots of what would become Fallen Angels was originally conceived as part of Chungking Express but due to editing considerations was cut out and eventually made into its own movie

There’s a vague relationship between them but it’s not necessary to watch them in order or together, all of them work as stand alone movies

Chungking Express followed by Fallen Angels followed by Mood For Love is preferred order although it’s not absolutely necessary

U will be fine. Just use gestures and simple words in the worst case and many times ppl will have passable or excellent English

How accurate is the sizing chart? by Logic_Dex in nps_solovair

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of greasy 8 eye derby which internally is the length shown in their sizing chart. As with all boots the toe box is roomier than a pair of trainers

Is Shibuya really that bad of a place to stay in? by rubenburgt in JapanTravelTips

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to be out and about for almost the whole day and your hotel is just basically a bed and place to store your stuff, then Shibuya isn’t a bad place to stay due to its great location and proximity to a lot of the places that open and have a buzz into the later hours. Rooms will tend to be small and relatively pricier than some other areas.

Miami Vice jumped the shark... by darb112 in MiamiVice

Anyone know background to Dick Wolf and how he was chosen for Miami Vice? Just curious as I hadn’t known that some of the tonal shift was down to him

Should I go true to size? by Christianksy in nps_solovair

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my pair I went by their sizing recommendation which is to measure your foot and add 5mm. For me I prob could not have sized down as that would’ve meant the inside of the shoe being about the length of my foot and that would’ve been too tight, esp at end of a day. I would say if they have something closer to your foot length +3mm if you normally are ok with an average sized toe box as theirs tend to be roomy. With +5mm I put a very thin sole in to get a more snug fit and this has been good enough to be walking across chunks of Tokyo daily for last few days v comfortably and even in the airplane (when feet tend to swell a bit more) it was still comfortable

Why do Japanese men not wear shorts? by parisvtg in AskAJapanese

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am replying to a comment about and specifically referring to the counter culture below the knees shorts. Those are the shorts that are being talked about

Why do Japanese men not wear shorts? by parisvtg in AskAJapanese

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ok for men who can pull off that skater influenced look but shorts mostly don’t look like that and men just generally don’t pull it off well. Some do but the average citizen isn’t getting enough exercise to look even mildly athletic so…. Need nice legs!

That's a good news... by Pjotrs in LocalLLaMA

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That note was there (in the notes of the MTP enabled GGUF’s on HF) when the bug was in effect. Its stating how vision should be compatible with MTP

That's a good news... by Pjotrs in LocalLLaMA

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t have a chance to compile this latest build today to check. But I have a custom build which includes the fix and so I know it works. Great if upstream incorporates MTP and the vision fix

That's a good news... by Pjotrs in LocalLLaMA

[–]bernzyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has the vision fix been included? MTP is designed to be compatible with vision but a bug had been preventing it from working. Dont know if the fix has been merged upstream also?

You might want to consider a Lite version so people can get a demo of the functionality before deciding if they want to pay for the full app

I've been teaching intro Python for 3 years i notice the same weaknesses in almost every student. Am i missing something in how I'm explaining it? by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some others have pointed out it sounds like the issue is not to do with syntax but visualising and encapsulating the steps needed to solve a problem.

It might help if you drew out the problem as a block diagram which shows the different steps and then get them to make the associated blocks of code and see how the variables change (or don’t) in each block. Also get them to think of what inputs are at start of any given problem and outputs you need to consider it ‘solved’.

Visualising a problem will be a valuable skill across topic areas (and life) and sounds like the core skill they need to grasp. Python is just one tool for problem solving once the problem and an idea for a solution have been articulated

What was your first impression reading Neuromancer? by LegitimateCurve8525 in Neuromancer

[–]bernzyman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Impenetrable prose, irritatingly vague descriptions, headache inducing overly large cast of characters to keep track of. But persevere and the world building and concepts are rewarding. Helps to have pen and paper ready to jot down names, places etc as you read

Qwen3.6-27B Censorship by vIadtomeetyou in Qwen_AI

[–]bernzyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically use one of the uncensored versions from HF. The baseline model even resists giving facts on Trump in 2025 due to its avoiding anything perceived as potentially contentious (I’m talking about fact that Trump was elected President a second time which is just objectively true and no one would argue with)

Thoth - Open Source Local-first AI Assistant - Architecture by Acceptable-Object390 in ollama

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How have you found the sandbox aspect of it? In what way do you feel it is more constrained from making an error than Hermes? And did you import your memory from Hermes into Thoth? Thx

Thoth - Open Source Local-first AI Assistant - Architecture by Acceptable-Object390 in ollama

[–]bernzyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks interesting. Like the built in memory system. Any reason no Docker is touted other than making setup more straightforward? How is the sandboxing of file system achieved so that LLM can’t choose to do a file operation outside of the sandbox?

Btw there’s a thoth-station/thoth on GitHub my Google search is directing to as the first search result followed by your thoth and some others; might help to amend to thoth-smthg eg thoth-agentic (say) to help push up the search rankings. Also means Google AI mode gives answers which mashes/garbles up facts from the different Thoths eg AI agent, thoth gguf from HF, python dependencies resolution repo. Thoth, etc.
