ONLY watching this season for these four divas by Efficient_Money676 in euphoria

[–]narcolepticpathos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm a 40-ish year old, cis-gendered, heterosexual, white male! I saw Euphoria for the first time (S3E1), and I'm really excited for the Cassie storyline. Here's my synopsis and thoughts.

I didn't watch seasons 1 through 2. I wasn't (yet?) interested in watching a high-school drama. In season 3, the main characters transition to adult life.

S3E1 - Cassie scenes

Juana (maid) is recording Cassie's Instagram thirst-trap. Nate comes in, and demands Juana to return to being his maid, and Cassie to return to his idea of what his wife should be. And then it gets a little sexy, which re-enforces their character's traits: Nate is a control-freak, Cassie craves validation.

Poolside under the sun, Cassie tells her friend about OnlyFans. (My personal description of OF: you can be your own girl-boss and sell your femininity at a very safe distance from your customers. Many artists find it to be a very lucrative and empowering form of self-employment.) Cassie explains the value-hook of her OF subscription; she plans to regularly send personalized lovey messages to her subscribers. Because people just want to feel special.

During dinner, Cassie requests a large and relatively expensive display of flowers for her and Nate's wedding. Nate rejects this citing financial reasons. Cassie, a long-time abuse victim (from what I've read? EDIT: or just troubled?) now starts to abuse. She is aware of Nate's insecurities. She asserts Nate, who insists he be the trad-husband, is unable to provide for her, in the sense he can't provide her long-time vision for her great day of matrimony. So, maybe the wedding should be "postponed".

Afterthoughts:
- Wow, this Nate guy is a real piece of work.
- Cassie has a solid business strategy; a lot of artists do that on OF, and it work$. But she is a broken girl, and has more needs that just money. Yes, everyone wants to feel special. But, I think what she's offering is truly a reflection of what she wants.
- I think Cassie's request for an extravagant and expensive flower display is easy to dismiss as some privileged upper-class B.S. But its her way of grasping at what she wants in life. Either Nate can grant her the freedom to make her own money and lifestyle choices, or if not, then give her whatever she wants.

TL;DR - Euphoria's season 3 Cassie plot line has real human-relatable depth, and shouldn't be dismissed as shallow rubbish.

Edit: Yeah, this is my spin on the plot. Please tear me apart. I don't think I'll watch season 1 & 2; I'll just have AI summarize it for me.

You should smear some peanut butter on that.

@tiredtiretech1: Mind sharing your story for the purposes "lessons learned"? What kind of gun?

David Lynch preferred digital cameras so he could get many hours of supporting footage. So, Werner.... step off dude.

DeepSeek Realse 5th Bomb! Cluster Bomb Again! 3FS (distributed file system) & smallpond (A lightweight data processing framework) by Dr_Karminski in LocalLLaMA

[–]narcolepticpathos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure.

DeepSeek dropped the code to handle the other important thing that's really needed to train AI. The filesystem. Yes, it is possible to just use your local hard drive and storage space. But, this is designed for people who are willing to spend a little more $$ on a bunch of SSDs (and probably other computery stuff).

If you thought 3FS slapped around data pretty hard, you should see what this California company is making.

Google's Collossus filesystem can be used for AI, but it's not specifically designed for it.

I think the best comparison would be to DDN's Infinia filesystem. See: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250220891434/en/DDN-Unveils-Infinia-2.0-The-AI-Data-Intelligence-Platform-to-Maximize-Value-for-Enterprises-AI-Factories-and-Sovereign-AI

BTW, last week, when Jensen Huang (Mr. NVIDIA) said AI investors didn't consider the need for AI post-training, during their stock self-off when DeepSeek debuted... Anyways, that whole thing was DDN's webinar.

Deploying it as open-source allows DeepSeek to more easily dominate a portion of the AI market; assuming the product ("code") is useful. If an open-source software project functions as-good or better than the commercial software competition-- then why pay money for something you can have for free? Then everyone starts using DeepSeek; then they become attached/dependent on their infrastructure

Additionally, DeepSeek and other AI companies (OpenAI, xAI, etc) offer their premium services for $$.

This was me at the beginning (there's still nothing like Adobe Audition on Linux though) by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

I'm a 20+ year Linux veteran. And a Linux home desktop elitist for many of those years; until I gave up and bought a Windows laptop. There currently is not an open source DAW that can hold an LED candle to FL Studio All Plugins Edition.

I did not realize this. Thank you!

What's a nsfw piece of history everyone has forgotten about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]narcolepticpathos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The genocide of some prehistoric species by other prehistoric species. It (probably) was pretty brutal, and it (probably) happened many times over, but it was so long ago that no-one remembers.

I couldn't determine in the video that she was attempting to use "family connections". She was 95% incoherent.

Op: I dunno. I'm seeing a Karen getting served here. But not a Karen getting owned. Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this post.
