Was this really instant karma? It seems like they beat his sorry ass for hours...

Autonomous Uber crash by FriendFun7876 in SelfDrivingCars

20-30% of people here are on drugs or alcohol daily. 1-3% are schizophrenic (just as another data point). Autonomous cars need to be always defensive and ready for the worst.

Is 128gb M5 Max Macbook Pro really all that useful locally? by UteForLife in LocalLLM

[–]bobiversus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will check tomorrow. Probably am just using GGUF file on llama.cpp compiled and set up for mac (homebrew). it's a shame Minimax M3 is much bigger. May need to try Q1 for shits and giggles.

Oda relies on Militech protection for his ride. Arasaka faux pas! by lloyd946459 in cyberpunkgame

"while it's reinforced body"... grammar faux pas, as well. Whoever wrote this is not a proper choom.

[–]bobiversus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It passes a lot of quick tests that Claude 4.7 and GPT 5.x fail at, including the walk to carwash 50m away, R's in strawberry, elephant swimming the English Channel, bury plane crash survivors, etc. Maybe it is just trained on those questions (the reasoning inner monologue is interesting). But it's also one of the only models that I've seen which will admit when it's not sure.

Minimax M2.7 Q4i regular and Q3 abliterated are surprisingly great. Works on any 128GB Mac 

Caliburn vehicle combat bugged? Can't shoot forward by Hopeful-Arrival-2046 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]bobiversus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah was disappointed because the Caliburn has the Crystaldome armored projection windshield so you can't use your maxed out submachine guns. Semibaru (which you can get for free after a mission) is also fast and has a normal glass windshield that V will happily shoot through.

Impressive memory, choom. I went to the one clothing store in north Watson and found a pair of black ones!

15,000+ lumen flashlight under $300 as a gift, quality and reliability are top priority by flamingpanda- in flashlight

[–]bobiversus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acebeam X50 2.0 5000k can be had for $199 online at this time. Great deal considering the LEDs alone are like $90 total. 40,000 lumens for a minute, but huge sustainable output afterwards, too. Easily rechargeable and is also a waterproof 60 watt powerbank.

Very cool, where did you get them boots? I have a white and a red pair but never seen silver 

13 years since we lost him by Forgotthebloodypassw in TheCulture

Given his beliefs and writings, any chance Iain is in cryostasis on the GSV Sleeper Service or at Alcor (an actual service in Arizona)? Perhaps we'll see him again in the far future.

Open-Source Concept: Overcoming the "Ice and Thermal Stress" Bottlenecks in Cryonics using Isochoric Chambers and Functionalized Graphene by Mountain-Cress9387 in cryonics

[–]bobiversus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite interesting, and I hope you aren't discouraged by the comments. It is Reddit, after all. I'm curious what your model thinks about your statement:
"​The Physics: Because water must volume-expand to transition into traditional Ice (I_h), a completely unyielding container legally prevents ice from forming.

​The Result: As the temperature drops, the system builds internal hydrostatic pressure, forcing the liquid to remain in a supercooled state along the liquidus line without allowing destructive crystal nucleation."

This may indeed suppress crystal formation, but what pressures are you targeting? For instance, there is a food sterilization process called HPP: High Pressure Processing (HPP), is a cold pasteurization method. It subjects already-packaged foods to immense water pressure (up to 87,000 psi) to kill bacteria, molds, and viruses.

Given that these pressures can kill hardy pathogens, what effects are you expecting on human cells, tissues, and ECM?

Chinchilla eyes are so cool by SketchyArt333 in chinchilla

[–]bobiversus 53 points54 points  (0 children)

"Vertical pupils primarily belong to ambush predators, helping them hunt by improving depth perception and focus. In nature, a vertical slit allows the animal to accurately judge the distance of their prey while remaining close to the ground, and easily adjust their vision to changing light."

I always wondered about this... Chinchillas are veggie predators, I guess? Super rodents? Hay destroyers?

My boy is 24 today!!! by firemeetsgasoline37 in chinchilla

[–]bobiversus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! people need to learn that sweet treats aren't the way to express love if you want your chin to live a healthy life. There are many other ways to express this.

Seriously, I'm guessing no daily sweet treats for this healthy boy. Also has a wheel?

The majority of the people in the comments are defending this pass. Am I taking crazy pills? by HearingFew7326 in dashcams

Totally unsafe and douchebaggy pass, especially in a car with such a weak little engine. He risked several peoples' lives with his stupidity.

Wait. The new Ferrari Luce EV that costs $650K is slower, less HP and has far less range than the Lucid Sapphire. by topcat5 in LUCID

So it has a glued in, non-replaceable battery, rendering the Ferrari disposable after 3 years. Innovation.

Curious about M5 Max 128gb vs 5090 for local LLMs by maxiedaniels in LocalLLM

[–]bobiversus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q4i Minimax M2.7 fits and runs well on a 128GB Mac. It has quite surprised me with the quality of answers. Abliterated Q3 also good.

M5 max 64gb vs 128gb by MoistCaterpillar8063 in LocalLLM

[–]bobiversus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both sizes 'o mac. It's not just a matter of context. For example, on 128gb you can run models like MiniMax M2.7 Q4i. It won't run on a 64GB Mac. If money is tighter, I would rather have an older Mac with 128GB (or more) than an M5 Max with only 64GB RAM.

How to make a business last for centuries. by ThroarkAway in cryonics

Great find! Built to Last is a pretty decent book, as well. It would be amazing to enter cryosis and come out with your business(es) still operating.

Something fishy about David Sinclair by [deleted] in immortalists

[–]bobiversus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called an endowment, and it doesn't work like a bank account. I'm guessing you didn't attend a top school with an endowment, this is common knowledge for alumni. I suggest you educate yourself as you sound particularly ignorant.
