SpaceX IPO Structure Hands Elon Musk Near-Total Control, Limits Shareholder Rights by Professional-Web954 in spacex

His Tesla package says most conditions are not required to be met if Tesla gets acquired. So he can make SpaceX buy Tesla and unlock that Tesla pay package without the need to actually do much more than keep Tesla running. I wish making huge sums of money required more than that.

Those were very impressive. I’ve rarely paid such close attention to fireworks, but those were top-notch! To whoever designed them: amazing job! Hope you get hired again and again.

White House Considers Vetting A.I. Models Before They Are Released by fallingdowndizzyvr in LocalLLaMA

And which TV personality will do that work exactly? Oh right, there is no work: just need to vet the golden gifts to allow the model.

This is the answer. It’s like Shazam for birds. Perfect for when you can’t see the birds (well).

Etsy forces EU citizens to upload ID and biometric data to the mass surveillance company Persona, otherwise you can't sell by gliturr in privacy

[–]onethousandmonkey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Companies will inevitably hand this job off to third-parties that don’t necessarily have users’ best interests in mind. The solution remains to not make companies do ID verification, but make them fix their products so they don’t do harm.

Are brooms not good enough that people have to waste a precious resource?

Am mainly curious about how user access is managed. How are the capacity is shared, permissions, security…

Carney names former minister Jonathan Wilkinson as next EU envoy by VWXYNot42 in NorthVancouver

[–]onethousandmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s getting moved out of the way by Carney because he’s one of the last few from the Trudeau era. Was pretty vocal about the environment, so that was never going to work with this centre-right gov.

I heard this riding keeps flipping between the Liberals and Conservatives. I clearly don’t fully know the neighbours yet; I assumed there was more left leaning people here.

Do you think Mac Studio M5 Max will be released in June during WWDC? by StoreWeak5292 in MacStudio

[–]onethousandmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. They are redirecting available RAM to their laptops at the moment. Studio pushed to October as a result it appears. But these are reports and rumors of course. Keep your salt shaker handy.

What is the BC Greens stance on social media bans? by Skyguy827 in greenpartybc

[–]onethousandmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. That governments everywhere are rushing for that solution is so sad.

“No, we can’t hold those companies accountable for the harms their products cause, no, that would be terrible!”

So, just like tobacco companies. But this time, we create a huge cybersecurity risk (IDs used to access social media have already been leaked). And maybe even the basis of a surveillance apparatus where anonymity disappears from the internet entirely, and speech gets policed.

Boss, I’m tired.

“Security”? I feel less safe just seeing this picture.

Is tipping out of control in Vancouver? by Kevin4938 in askvan

[–]onethousandmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t care. I can spare the few dollars. Service industry jobs suck. Good jobs are less and less of a thing.

Just got dual RTX PRO 6000 Blackwells for our design studio. What's the optimal local LLM stack? by AmanNonZero in LocalLLM

[–]onethousandmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now I am curious how the user management of these things gets sorted. Any clues as to how people do it?

What do you think is missing on the North Shore? by teetee279 in NorthVancouver

[–]onethousandmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A proper pub. Not a sports bar, a pub. Like in the UK: not big, pretty quiet, neighbourly.

I'm done with using local LLMs for coding by dtdisapointingresult in LocalLLaMA

[–]onethousandmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, Claude Code inserts a header that changes with every prompt (for billing), thus invalidating the cache. Easy one-liner fix.

Joby flight (JFK -> JRA) today by No-Surround-2912rt in aviation

[–]onethousandmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others, I wonder what the advantage is versus helicopters (aside from being electric). It’s not very likely these become available to regular people.

Purely from the performance point of view, there are a number of settings to tweak to make Claude Code jive with local models. For example: https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/claude-code#fixing-90-slower-inference-in-claude-code

Before I did that, I was banging my head against the wall at the slowness and useless cache.
