Hah, I would assume they mean not beholden to a government that tracks its citizens with facial recognition, data mines its citizens' personal communications to arrest them before they can even organize a protest, and is run by a dictator who literally made it illegal to call him Pooh Bear.

The sphere that America exerts control over is not without its issues and is surely corrupt. But it is nowhere near as corrupt, oppressive, and lacking in individual freedom as China and the other contender for world domination. Unlike China, America has no social credit score enforced by an all-seeing mass surveillance mechanism where VPN's and other attempts to hide from it are strictly illegal. And while many Americans might be racist toward Muslims, the American government does not dehumanize them and force them into labor camps.

Your whataboutism is clearly just a Chinese troll, but I'll leave this comment as a reminder to others reading that there is zero equivalence.

The best part is that this whole thing is about having the "opportunity" to purchase reddit stock at its IPO price. This user generated content farm wouldn't dare give away equity for free to users responsible for the site having any past, present, or future value.

I'm not a finance person, but the only gambling I'd do on this company is hope that Wall Street pumps the price post-IPO so I can short it.

My understanding is that the value of each reddit user is priced roughly at $2. A Facebook user is priced at roughly $40. Their only options to maybe be profitable are more enshittification, more users, or both. Or, you know, not paying hundreds of millions of dollars to the execs of an RSS feed with voting and comments.

Elon is a megalomaniacal cunt, but I was wondering why environmentalists of all people would push to limit electric vehicle production. It seems a little brain dead while we're actively watching the climate warm at a much higher rate than was predicted when I was young.

Anyway, this is about protecting their water.

Environmentalists also worry about the pressure the factory puts on the local water supply and the risk of contamination.

You sound like you have experience in this field

This one is only 7B parameters, but it punches far above its weight for such a little model:

My personal setup is capable of running larger models, but for everyday use like summarization and brainstorming, I find myself coming back to Starling the most. Since it's so small, it runs inference blazing fast on my hardware. I don't rely on it for writing code. Deepseek-Coder-33B is my pick for that.

Others have said Starling's overall performance rivals LLaMA 70B. YMMV.

Of all of the code specific LLMs I'm familiar with Deepseek-Coder-33B is my favorite. There are multiple pre-quantized versions available here:

In my experience a minimum of 5-bit quantization performs best.

Hm, yeah it works fine for me. I could never use the built-in mic on one of those cheap adapters

I'm not sure if this is a stock Android feature or Samsung specific, but I have the ability to disable using my cheap Bluetooth adapter for calls under Bluetooth settings for the device

What happened is that the FTC is taking on Amazon in court as we speak:
