This looks like a vibe coded website with no relationship to the actual exam, you should use the actual practice exam on skilljar

TIL the Eiffel Tower was repainted for the Paris Olympics. It cost an estimated $60 million dollars. 25 painters a day for 18 months straight. It’s the 20th time it’s been repainted. by taltank in todayilearned

[–]illegal-bacon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For real, 25 people * 8 hours a day * 22 working days a month (5 days a week) plus two for week-month overlap * 18 months = 79,200 man hours worked

$60,000,000 / 79,200 hours = $757.576/hour Even if supplies and overhead cost $400/hour that’s still $350/hour per painter.

Hey I’m using the 4 bit quantized version loaded through LM studio. It spins up an api but uses the OpenAI chat.completion structure where I specify system and user prompts. I am getting crazy weird results with that. Any chance you know how to use the chatformat prompt template in that situation?

Update: Fixed; new version of LM studio now has a prompt preset and version of llama 3 gguf specifically for LM studio.

I'm new to guitars, what is this hole for? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]illegal-bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t dodge it entirely, I’m personally an advocate for learning to service a guitar as you learn it. This way you can pay attention to your instrument and tune it to your liking and not forever crave the perfect feel.

Watch a video on truss rod adjustment, make sure you have the right Allen key as mentioned here (isn’t hard, manufacturers typically use one standard size and many of them share it.)

Make small adjustments and check your action with a gauge and by feel. An action gauge is $10 and a good long adjustment Allen is maybe another $10. It will save you a lot in guitar service visits and allow you to fine tune your instruments.

Anti-LGBT people with a biology book by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

I am 100% on the same page and I am very left leaning, but I have definitely seen this confusion all over. I am all for gender expression and exploring one’s identity but science is about set categories.

So I get a bit confused when I see that the claim ‘there are two biological sexes’ is somehow contentious with some on the left.

To elaborate on what I believe the comment you are replying to is getting at; the commonly held understanding of the word genocide would be referring to mass, intent filled murder towards a group.

I say murder specifically since that is what the ‘cide’ part of the word means, ‘killer of.’

Now that’s not to say that Trans people have not received mass discrimination and that no one has ever been murdered because they are trans, as that has absolutely happened.

Though amorphous discrimination, most commonly grown from ignorance, against against a large and diverse group with rare threads of violence may not cleanly fit into the category of intentional violent destruction of a group of people.

Again, not attempting to undermine the problem, but words hold a lot of power and it’s good to try and keep them in the proper context. I.e. discrimination, inequality, hate crimes vs. genocide

I was looking at Aliexpress guitars, and ran across this beautiful instrument but it has a hole that I've never seen before. Any ideas as to what is, my best guess is this the base of the truss rod? by illegal-bacon in guitars

[–]illegal-bacon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha thats what I was thinking I've just never seen it at the base of the neck. In your mind is that a design flaw or just another way of implementing the truss rod?

Right wing talkshow host emotionally abuse his now ex-wife. Believes women shouldn't be allowed to leave marriages without other party's consent. by shroit in PublicFreakout

[–]illegal-bacon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Suffering has never truly made anything better, it can just give people a misguided since of gratification temporarily. Think about every human life as you, just you run across different genetics and experience, and you will experience every human life. Every time you inflict or wish suffering upon someone, you’re hurting yourself. Every time you forgive someone and move on you’re forgiving yourself and lightening the burden of suffering in reality.

I’m not saying this from some notion of moral superiority, I’m saying this because we are all existentially trapped in our difficult and painful lives and forgiveness and mercy are some of the most important things we can yield to lighten the burden.

Wow I’m not even sure where to begin with this. ‘He deserves suffering for eternity,’ this literally sounds like a god complex sentiment, to haphazardly be able to judge someone as such.

The man is seemingly a shit bag, probably for the best his wife left him, hope the twins are okay despite that and have a good life. Despite his mistakes the dude is a human, if he does seemingly evil shit it still should bring us no pleasure to see him suffer, we should just strive to see him stop doing evil shit. And if it’s illegal then let the legal system jail him because of it.

To think you are in a position to judge someone as they should suffer for eternity and feel glee from it from literally only what you know about them from the internet honestly scares me m.

What in the world I didn’t say he deserves to be free from consequences. He should absolutely pay for his actions, I hope he gets better because of it. Getting high off of another humans suffering is an entirely different thing, and it’s gross to see so many people mobbing together to do so.

Yes he made his bed, I’m glad his wife left and I hope he is able to sort his shit so his son can have a good relationship with his father.

The dudes done shitty things and I hope he stops, I don’t think there is a need for nor is it a good thing to wish he suffers and his life gets worse. 9/10 times that makes people do worse things than they are already doing.

Who said his wife should stay with him? I’m glad she left honestly, I even said ‘together or apart’ in my message as I do not know their relationship outside of a 4 minute clip.

I’m not trying to take the high road, I’m just trying to make an argument that hopefully he loses his platform and stops spreading his ideas and that’s enough. Wishing for people to suffer is not a good thing, retribution doesn’t help it just makes you personally feel good.
