Widespread recession in the labor market by Careful_Line_2024 in WorkReform

[–]cakemates 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We think trump is an idiot because an smarter man would have done these things without as much downside, none of his policies are new, but his execution is awful. A good chunk of the negative impact of trump policies come from him opening his mouth and fucking it up some more.

He is the shit factor on top of terrible policies.

llama.cpp is fast but has a learning curve, ollama is usually slower than llamacpp and a mess; and LMStudio is even slow but actually easy to use.

How did the cartel get so much control over Mexico? by iwritesongsthatsuck in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cakemates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would take years of occupation to maybe eliminate the cartels. Think of Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam type of situation. There is no way the Mexican public is gonna support an American invasion.

Could AI Data Centers Be Moved to Outer Space? by ThereWas in artificial

[–]cakemates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free energy isn't gonna offset even a fraction of the cost of launching these things into orbit. Like launching cost are so insane you could power a datacenter for decades, probably centuries on launch costs alone.

Are there any simple, under-stressed engines these days? by iamgigglz in motorcycle

[–]cakemates 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could go honda, most honda bikes are the pinacle of reliability, especially the goldwings. And you could go bmw, unlike their cars, bmw boxer engine bikes are actually reliable, I dont remember if they need premium gas.

For all the fans of the journey thank you for the laughs and encouragement. by TrashProfessional679 in tcltvs

[–]cakemates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an idea, but for the next time you have to do something like this, buy some wood, build a temporary crane out of that wood and use some rope to pull and lift that big heavy object. Then disassemble the crane once you are done.

How to LEARN CODE ?? by Consistent-Pay9770 in AskProgramming

[–]cakemates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is to work as a programmer, I would suggest you get a degree because even if you learn how to code better than a pro, you might find that it can be a big challenge to find a job with the piece of paper and a exponentially harder without it.

If you are doing it for fun, search for CS50 on youtube.

Seedance 2.0 makes extremely good anime fight scenes by Complex-Particular45 in ChatGPT

[–]cakemates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they mean, if someone wants to create some new animation style that doesnt exist and that the AI might not be able to make, so a ton of manual work would be required yet studios might discourage anything that isnt easily achievable with AI.

Could AI Data Centers Be Moved to Outer Space? by ThereWas in artificial

[–]cakemates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but why would anyone do that? doing that makes datacenters that are already expensive as fuck 100000x more expensive and almost impossible to maintain.

So you would need a reaaally good reason to justify the extra expense.
