Things I will bet money on
Boeing made $76B in revenue in 2023. This is slightly more than 1 day's revenue for them ($210M / day) or a bit more than 10 days profit for them ($21M / day). They will keep doing what they're doing, but increase their spending on a PR campaign to improve their public image.
dumbest fucking timeline. A subscription for a feature that requires no infrastructure and is part of the physical thing you just paid $40k for.
Respect, but...
FWIW his white whale or inspiration is more like the Chinese “we do everything” apps / platforms https://wise.com/us/blog/chinese-payment-app
Holy shit, .15 euros per page? Why not just run to der Kinkos? I haven’t checked but I imagine it’s cheaper there. I get the convenience of having a printer at home but this is like if every cup of coffee you make at home cost you the Starbucks $8.25.
Oh no, not titties!
He’s told his followers that “cash is trash” and that he doesn’t trust the U.S. dollar, calling it “fake.” Instead, he’s recommended investing in assets like precious metals, bitcoin or Wagyu cattle
Hah
Maybe he's just doing research for his hit sequel: "Rich dad, 1 billion dollar in debt dad"
I guess this solves part of the mystery about why the French rioted when they raised the retirement age last year
That’s a valid take. I will say I think using her birth name does more to highlight the fact that nobody named Nimrata could secure the republican nomination. And also that it’s a little sad that someone would try to hide their heritage to win the votes of people who clearly don’t like who they are.
Rip up the Reddit contract and don’t use that data to train the model. It’s the definition of a garbage in garbage out problem.
Are there any alternatives for people with gluetun allergies?
It’s the best way to keep everyone calm with all those guns around
It's a good thing a lot of elderly voters who can't make it to a polling location don't vote Republican. Oh wait...
I used to think they were bots. I still do, but I used to, too.
I like that. If there was a site that did like The Razzies for movies but for technology enshitification, I would definitely watch, and probably follow a blog if it was done well
I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.
It's the same, I picked up an Orange Pi 5 plus on sale and didn't even think about the kernel and module driver situation. It's rough. Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip and the other contributors do great work to un-fuck the situation and get a non-screwy ubuntu install cobbled together, but in the comments for issues even he gives off a "well, the situation is shit" sort of vibe.
I won't buy another rockchip sbc.
The Trial of Hunter Biden('s Penis) - In this 6 part miniseries we'll be lending our usual journalistic excellence to uncovering the throbbing truth...
First he came for my female M&Ms and I said nothing…
Almost every time someone tries to lump this many people into one basket, the rest of what they’re saying is going to be dumb as hell.
Shoot your shot, player.
Don’t go crazy or over the top, don’t overdo it, but just say it. If they’re a good friend they won’t be scared away. If they’re like you that way you’ll both be happier.
Don’t overthink it, ask them if they’d ever like to hang out or do something more like a date.
Ballsy, direct, badass. That can be you.
Dating is awkward but life gets a lot better once you get more comfortable with it. Everyone is a dating idiot until they’re not, there’s a good chance your friend is still in the idiot stage and maybe hell be over the moon that you helped push through it.
It's not uncommon on sensitive stories like this for the government to loop-in journalists ahead of time so they can pull together background and research with an agreed-upon embargo until some point in the future.
This wasn't the US government telling the newspaper they couldn't report on a story they had uncovered from their own investigation.
There are times I think I’m the lefty-ist person I know, then I see something like this.
I do think she’s not quite as lefty as her image from 8-10 years ago but she’s a far cry from Sinema. I like 60ish percent of the things Warren says and does, that’s a decent start.
Hah. Clearly this should happen, but I hope the irony of self-enriching congress lecturing others about ethics isn’t lost on anyone.
First a caveat/warning - you'll need a beefy GPU to run larger models, there are some smaller models that perform pretty well.
Adding a medium amount of extra information for you or anyone else that might want to get into running models locally
If you look at https://ollama.com/library?sort=featured you can see models
Model size is measured by parameter count. Generally higher parameter models are better (more "smart", more accurate) but it's very challenging/slow to run anything over 25b parameters on consumer GPUs. I tend to find 8-13b parameter models are a sort of sweet spot, the 1-4b parameter models are meant more for really low power devices, they'll give you OK results for simple requests and summarizing, but they're not going to wow you.
If you look at the 'tags' for the models listed below, you'll see things like 8b-instruct-q8_0 or 8b-instruct-q4_0. The q part refers to quantization, or shrinking/compressing a model and the number after that is roughly how aggressively it was compressed. Note the size of each tag and how the size reduces as the quantization gets more aggressive (smaller numbers). You can roughly think of this size number as "how much video ram do I need to run this model". For me, I try to aim for q8 models, fp16 if they can run in my GPU. I wouldn't try to use anything below q4 quantization, there seems to be a lot of quality loss below q4. Models can run partially or even fully on a CPU but that's much slower. Ollama doesn't yet support these new NPUs found in new laptops/processors, but work is happening there.
Sounds like maybe Trump has dementia.
One really annoying problem, in firefox the mouse cursor position is wrong. Clicking in firefox clicks on the thing 30-ish pixels above my mouse. I noticed that it only happens when firefox is snapped to the left or right half of the screen (of course that's how I almost always use it). I can fix it if I maximize firefox then snap it left or right. 100% scaling on the monitor, nothing funky, reset theme/appearance, reset my firefox profile, etc...
Hopefully it gets sorted soon

Congress is the Senate and the House of Representatives. Two chambers.
I've been tempted to ditch my current password manager and move to bitwarden. I think this is the final push I needed.
Without looking I’m sure Louisiana is already bottom state in at least a dozen major education metrics. This ensures that ten years from now it will be even more.
Is this the new "Simpsons already did it"?
Cunk already did it...

Been 100% linux for like 6-9 months now, these stories make me thankful for finally making the switch.
I've tried to make the switch 3-4 times in the past and was stopped by 2 main things:
The experience was so much better this time and I really have no regrets. I don't imagine I'll ever run Windows again outside of a VM
I'm far from an expert in init systems, but there are some benefits to declarative approaches for configuration. It's one of the main reasons yaml and toml are as popular as they are. The short version is, declarative configuration tends to be less verbose, and the declarative contract defines what state you want things to be in, not how to get there which makes it easier on the person writing the unit file, and on the implementers of systemd in that there's a smaller surface-area to test
Generally declarative:
Btrfs will be fine, I use btrfs on a standard arch install, timeshift for managing snapshots, works well.
It has been on my list to figure out how to move to forgejo, need to do it soon before the migration process breaks or gets awful.
But, I thought Trump was all about state’s rights? This is very confusing. /s
