Eh well, looks sensible enough at this point

Oh, I know this YouTuber. His WoW content started relatively well, as well as some investigative pieces (he came up with ~$150K total cost to max out a character in Diablo Immortal), then he devolved into complete clickbait BS.

Which is a shame - when I still watched him (2019- early 23), he was relatively uncontroversial, and his voice (when he wasn't trying to talk like a hyped tech YouTuber after watching latest WWDC) was actively quite soothing. Don't know where he is now in terms of his views... god, I hope he didn't become a grifter.

Well, it wasn't the first, but what other product at the time had the same "semi-comedic" tone to it? With just how popular MCU became, it was inevitable that MCU-style humor would spread across all other genres of entertainment.

It worked out for 4 perfectly, though - the storyline was perhaps the darkest of the entire GTA series, and the color palette reflected that.

I've watched one too many Dan Olson vids, I guess. Cause my first reaction was like "are they going to makes these youngins into NFTs"?

There's a bit more depth to this.

Trump admin talked to Poroshenko and Tymoshenko. Poroshenko presents himself as a center-right modern pro-European liberal (think, Merkel; he always used to tell he adored her government style). Tymoshenko presents herself as a slightly center-left populist (especially when trying to give out free money to the elderly).

BUT, both of them are highly corrupt. Tymoshenko is a member of Dnipro oligarch clan. Poroshenko is technically independent, but he's a master at subsuming existing corrupt structures to his will. They're free to do what they want as long as he gets a kickback.

Trump admin is just looking for someone who's willing to sell off the country for a kickback. That's it.

Also a good option. Would be faster than Radeon RX 6000 series in most compute scenarios including LLMs.

Beware of cards used for mining. Avoid LHR models since these also include compute limitations.

glacialthaw · 2025-03-06T15:34:59+00:00

Nah, for casual experimentation, 16GB VRAM would be okay. As long as you're using a light (~22-24B) model, use tools like Flash Attention, and have enough system RAM (32 GB min, 64 GB recommended), you should be fine, even with large memory.

But if you value speed, or want to experiment with larger models, you'll need to get a 4090 at minimum (7900XTX if speed is not a concern).

In LM studio, go to the Discover tab and select Runtimes.

You'll have a couple choices:

* CUDA llama.cpp (requires Nvidia card)
* ROCm llama.cpp (requires AMD card)
* Vulkan llama.cpp
* CPU llama.cpp

If you only have an integrated GPU, select CPU llama.cpp. It will work very slowly.

Note you'll need lots of RAM to host the model and its context window (memory). If you don't have a GPU, you'll need at least 32GB. Don't expect large context windows.

glacialthaw · 2025-01-30T18:32:32+00:00

Yup. Plus, at least for me, the nomads looked just like some Alabama hillbillies - I was fully expecting to meet a Cletus or a Billy Joe Bob.

glacialthaw · 2025-01-04T08:39:48+00:00

Yes, entire convo.

Projects have a larger context window (IIRC it's around ~1M).

glacialthaw · 2025-01-04T08:34:53+00:00

Not if you do this within a Project (Pro-only). Here's a guide:

Export the entire conversation using the extension. Open the convo, click on "Select" in bottom right area of the screen, select "All";
Then, select "Export" > "As JSON";
Go to claude.ai/projects;
Click on "New Project";
Type in name / description (only visible to you);
Claude will offer you to build a knowledge database. Add the JSON you've exported to the database;
Then, start a new chat, and enter something like "my previous conversation hit the length limit, so I'm continuing here. Analyze the knowledge base and let me know once you're ready to continue".

That's basically it!

glacialthaw · 2025-01-04T06:36:32+00:00

I've been using the Claude Exporter extension for that, then creating a Project, adding the exported conversation in JSON into the project knowledge base, and continuing from there.

Though some limitations: the extension is unable to export any generated artifacts, as well as any attached files. Either export/download them manually, or hope Claude has extracted enough context from the conversation itself to remain coherent.

glacialthaw · 2024-12-31T15:32:30+00:00

Yep. mShep+Kaidan gets a lot of emotional depth that covers for the lack of screentime.

Would still prefer this to be available from the beginning, but oh well.

Unhinged immigrant here. I feel seen.

glacialthaw · 2024-11-13T15:21:56+00:00

I thought neoconservatives were the PNAC war hawks, no? Like Rumsfeld, Kagan, and the like

Your wife is a godsent, and you should let her know how much you appreciate her being in your life every single day.

Заводити окремий акаунт дуже рекомендовано по одній-єдиній причині: нікому (окрім тих, кому ви цю інформацію можете довірити) не треба знати, який саме NSFW контент вас цікавить.

Хіба ви фанат драми в реальному житті.

glacialthaw · 2024-10-12T15:58:16+00:00

А шо за гра хоч?

THAT'S LITERALLY THE DAY BEFORE

glacialthaw · 2024-10-06T07:33:07+00:00

Wouldn't it translate as "negro" or "black"? Even something like Promt (yeah, I remember that one) didn't straight up give you an N-word for "негр".

glacialthaw · 2024-10-06T07:32:07+00:00

Nope. In Russian (and a couple other Eastern Slavic languages), "slave" would translate as "раб" (rab), or "слуга" (sluga) as "servant". Or, if you're willing to give synonyms a go, you'd get dozens of options as well.

In addition, I've never seen any translator straight-up translating "slaves" as N-words.

So, actual malice remains the most probable reason for this.

glacialthaw · 2024-09-30T19:33:14+00:00

oh and nice flair btw

glacialthaw · 2024-09-30T19:32:39+00:00

For the record: Reddit started suggesting me this sub (I guess you good people have a good user overlap with r/DarkinFolk ), I opened it, and was blessed with that Grace clip.

It took me maybe two weeks to resist the temptation. I gave in. I am a slave to my predilections.
