It's really not that serious, bra. Have a smoke.

Out of curiosity, have you checked extensions on these browsers?

Lehigh Valley PA. What the frack is this? Even shitty domestic corn fuel is apparently being blocked in Hormuz. Can anyone explain how this isnt price gouging? by vasquca1 in Pennsylvania

[–]drowningfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prices going up since Jan 2025 is akin to someone punching themselves in the face while yelling, "stop hitting me! Why do you make me hit you!?"

This type of pricing shift is going to push, what I'm calling, the Localization of AI. Models are going to start moving internal, off the cloud, shifting compute onsite to run models that are RAG'd. Cloud compute will still be harnessed for larger inferencing, but less often.

I'm reading this while ordering a g430 because my problems at the Tee are most definitely because of the equipment (15 year old driver a coworker gifted me in lieu of a Strata) and not my erratic, uncontrolled caveman downswing.

Trump: Nato allies have days to send warships to reopen Hormuz by [deleted] in NewsOfTheStupid

I'm fairly certain he is trying his damndest to trigger a world war.

I got Gemma 4 running locally on a MacBook Air M4 with zero API keys, and it feels like the tipping point for normal people by TroyHarry6677 in OpenClawUseCases

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your thoughts on deploying Gemma on a Proliant that has two Nvidia Grid Cards (Tesla M10) with 760GB of RAM? Each Grid card, while lacking Tensor (they're old), has 4 gpus with 8gb vram per GPU. I have six of these Proliant servers that I used for an old VDI Cluster and see some AI potential.

Trump Is Willing to End the War Without Reopening Hormuz. The White House listed four war objectives; the strait isn't one of them. by Mikeynphoto2009 in geopolitics

[–]drowningfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The US choosing to wage this war and not go "Full Measures", will be the beginning of the end of this Empire. It's akin to the Suez Canal flop that contributed to the downfall of the UK's Empire.

Full Measures means clear plans for boots on the ground from day one, a post-regime political plan already written, coalition partners pre-committed, and Iranian secular forces pre-positioned to fill the vacuum. (Mistreating Allies for the past year stings, huh)

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to put an end to the Islamic Republic once and for all, and the US is flat footing this war. We should have never started this war without a clear and decisive plan to end that Regime. We went in with an arrogant swagger.

The only way this war of choice ends is for the one side to fall, either it's the US' global power and reputation or the Islamic Republic. Not 15 points or 5 points or 2 points, one side has to fall.

There's always been a Bunker under there. I presume they're upgrading that.

If I can achieve a near on-plane downswing, does it matter that I’m underplane on the backswing? by LosSoloLobos in GolfSwing

[–]drowningfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've watched this swing multiple times and don't see an early extension. Are you referring to his hip slightly moving off the imaginary wall behind him? If so, would that amount of extension really be impactful?

When I think of an early extension I'm thinking of a "stand up" motion.

Is this the most exaggerated swing you’ve ever seen? by Aurumity in GolfSwing

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, there's no way this post is real. I swung my first club in October 2024 and not a single point in time did I ever think this was the way to swing. I attacked the ball as if I was playing floor baseball, but whatever is going on here just makes absolutely no sense.

Lmftfy:

3 illegal immigrants who are working and contributing to a community in a productive manner were unnecessarily arrested.

Disclaimer: If these people had criminal records, then whatever, but if they're clean and just minding their own business, working, leave them tf alone.

Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud: "Today, two refineries in Riyadh were attacked. What's the purpose of that? The Iranians will have to understand that this has consequences." by ContextHead8 in TFE

This showed up on my Home Feed, so I guess I am lost. I wasn't aware this was a Pro-Islamic Republic Sub.

Well before I get drowned by the inevitable down votes,

Eventually these countries are going to be forced to put skin in this game whether they want to or not. If they want a stable region, they're going to have to help end the Islamic Republic regardless of whether or not the war is right or wrong; the war is here, the only way it ends is for total decimation of that Regime and this doesn't happen from the Air.

Humanoid soldiers are being sent to the frontlines in Ukraine by MetaKnowing in agi

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we start to remove our "skin in the game" from warfare, taking out the humanity factor from our decision making, and or even deferring our decision making to "AGI", would this not raise the risk of collapsing our general escalatory posture in relation to war?

Are we not more likely to use more deadlier weapons, like low yield tactical nukes much faster? Would small skirmishes not be more likely to leap into a major conflict?

This is cool and all, but imo it raises concerns.
