The main issue is more funding won’t help; all it does is patch things up, and the root causes of the issues never get solved.

With reform, you could remove bureaucracy where it causes issues and add it where there’s breakdowns in communications instead of just adding more funding to improve capacity in one obvious area and expose a bottleneck immediately before or after it, making the majority of the extra funding wasted

Now let’s see by class… Chances are it turns out to be yet another class or even regional divide that’s had the focus shifted to race as that keeps the tensions and fighting amongst the poors

Anarchist and Anti-Capitalist aren’t universally agreed with among reasonable people, and when you throw all those together you know you’re just going to get a bunch of angsty shitstirrers who are anti-establishment for the sake of it but like to paint themselves as heroes

I’d love to see Bing or Qwant or Yandex (to be honest ideally Bing as they share their index) get a similar deal for StackOverflow or Github just to give Google a taste of their own medicine now

If you’re in the UK or I expect EU, I imagine if it’s due to oxidation you can get it replaced even on an expired warranty as it’s a defect which was known to either you or intel before the warranty expired, and a manufacturing defect rather than breaking from use, so intel are pretty much in a corner about having sold you faulty shit

I’m fairly sure to get my current job my resumé was just an unformatted txt file, imagine using formatting

I guess “government getting 340 million more from monarchy this year” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it

Yeah even gpt4o couldn’t keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case…

I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you’d probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just “stuff”

At least you can (theoretically, if you have your own datacentre or botnet) run, finetune and play with this yourself, so at least it’s somewhat useful, especially if you finetune it for applications where word predicting is actually exactly what you want

Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for “normal home internet” - even at 25Mbps you’re looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you’re at work or just in the background over the course of an evening

Edit: I was curious and looked it up. Global average download is around 50-60Mbps and upload is 10-12Mbps.

That’s not even applicable here, and I thought we’d moved past spouting that on every post when it became apparent that meta actually weren’t trying to kill the fediverse

The whole point is developing products to an open source standard, adding unneeded or complex features to ensure competition can’t keep up and gain market share, then shutting down your product and killing the whole standard.

How does buying a company that makes proprietary products then closing down that company even come close to being the same thing?

“The conservatives and lib dems look pretty proportional to me. 10/10 voting system” /s

Personally I know more people who’ve moved away from Labour than to it, I just acknowledge that people outside of cities exist and that I live in something of a bubble.

Refusing to accept that is the sort of thinking that gets Reform so many votes as many people in large cities forget that the majority of the population don’t live in cities, and so don’t suffer from the problems there so much (higher cost of living and lower labour availability than rural areas) and so don’t care so much about progressive or socialist policies.

EDIT: sorry, it’s late, I misread, I’ll keep this up and maybe edit again later because I’m too sleepy to respond to what you actually said right now

Nobody thinks we’re going to have a truly left wing government, as for whatever reason vanishingly few people want to vote for that.

It’d make it simpler if they skipped the shortlisting part and just treat the ones you added to the shortlist as “agree” policies though; it also would vastly increase the usefulness of the tool as well.

Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think “yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with”

It’d be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say “I agree with this” or “I disagree with this” and leave it at that

If he retains his Wycombe seat

Big if, Electoral Calculus is putting it at a 15% chance

I mean fingers crossed both Labour and Tories are

If Lib Dems get opposition it’ll hopefully give people the idea they can vote for who they want instead of tactically, so vote share of Reform, Lib Dem, Green and whoever else increases

LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It’s kind of a watermark but it’s one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you’ll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you’d write it in.

Intel Arc also works surprisingly fine and consistently for ML if you use llama.cpp for LLMs or Automatic for stable diffusion, it’s definitely much closer to Nvidia in terms of usability than it is to AMD
