Some of the LLMs it ships with are very reasonably sized and still be impressive. I can run them on a laptop with 32GB of RAM.

Does GPT4all not allow that? Or do you have specific other models?

It doesn’t harm your computer or add viruses. All of the things it does are fake and are meant only for fun!!

Steel production also needs to find alternatives.

At least one steel company is on it: https://www.ssab.com/en/fossil-free-steel

I brought game xyz to enjoy it, not to keep it forever.

If you can’t keep it forever, you didn’t buy it - as in take ownership of it - you just rented it.

Yes, they’ve created an BEV specific platform, which currently is used by the Toyota bZ4X/Subaru Solterra and Lexus RZ, with the Toyota bZ3 due in 2024.

Worth noting that “con man” is short for “confidence man”. Inflated egos help with the confidence needed to trick people out of money.

I switched to DDG recently after realising how much worse Google is for giving good results. After doing so on a trial basis, I’m now switching on all my devices as it’s just overall a better search experience for me. (Even if DDG is just Bing.)

LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics.

My view is opposite in that LLM and AI will further entrench the skewed power dynamics, as only really the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google can fully exploit it, drive and and afford it. Sure I can run some LLMs on my computers at home, but you really need access to a lot of data and computing power to create the models in the first place.

The Dutch have had weight based roax tax for a long while: link in Dutch It just does not apply to EVs.

His right to have a whale of a time.

My biggest worry on this would be where you’d get them re-threaded.

Maybe smart phones are bad for our mental health, but I think reducing our entire experience with the world into mental health is the worst thing for our mental health.

In much the same way as individual people are blamed for CO² emissions and make you worry about your carbon footprint as a cynical ploy, it’s a type of shifting the blame from where it belongs.

The thought process behind this is: “your personal mental health being bad must be a personal failing rather than external factors, or else the system would need to be changed. And that simply would hurt profits.”

In very mild defence of their government, it’s not like many other countries do IT better at the national level.

Jesus Christ did this actually pass??

No, not yet, and only the other day did they remove the requirement for breaking encryption from the proposed bill.

This may or may not help you, I don’t have a Windows 11 install to try: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-country-or-region-geographic-location-geoid-in-windows-11.4034/

As Hammond’s Workshop proves, expense management is not Richard’s forte.

I know perfectly well the laws of your country, and that the links I originally posted apply to the UK. My comments were about principles, rather than the specifics of US law, which again could apply to the US.

Google is quite wilfully recommending certain things that increase engagement, they’re metric-ed up the eye balls. Facebook has internal documents that clearly state they know they’re actively promoting harmful content.

But then again we don’t jail people for teaching dogs to do the nazi salute, so yeah, strange.

He was not jailed, he was fined and it was for saying things “antisemitic and racist in nature”. The link has some of the things he said that are clearly not so innocuous as you seem to portray given the rise of the right wing. The whole “it’s a joke” defence is also pretty well documented as a modern phenomena of the right wing.

You are misinformed and if you have any sympathies for that guy, you have the wrong priorities at best, or at worst are resorting to the usual alt right talking points.

As a matter of principle, you’re right on one account, which is that I do not place the ultimate value on freedom of speech. The fact that American companies have a strangle hold over the public sphere and the dynamics of speech is problematic.
