Ah interesting — again happy to help out if there’s anything I can contribute to. I can make a feature request on github if there’s interest.

Anybody know of a program that would let me remap the keys on the razr naga? I’ve been using this to deal with the rgb, but would really like to edit the mouse button mappings (not averse to running a virtual machine to do it, if it’s one off, or maybe in bottles if that works).

Is there any interest in getting local models to run using this? I’d rather not use Gemini, and then all the data can reside locally (and not require a login).

I’d be happy to work on this, though I’m a python developer not a typescript one.

I personally love PWAs — why the hate for them? Personally I think more apps should be PWAs instead.

You just equated doing things that you have at least semi active control over to someone’s genetics predisposing them to certain medical conditions, which they have 0 control over. In their markets, risk is supposed to balance out and make people make less risky choices. You can’t derisk your alleles.

Health insurance is a fundamentally flawed idea, and not because of preexisting conditions, but because of profiteering. We should just optimize the health of our citizens directly by taxing wealthy individuals and companies and paying for the most effective healthcare for everyone. It’s more cost effective for society at large and also serves the greatest cross section of our community, but there just won’t be a profit motive (well there is a motive that by doing better healthcare for everyone in more cost effective ways you lower the overall cost of healthcare for the society, which isn’t so much maximizing profit as it is minimizing cost-benefit ratio).

And by the way, it may be a paper next year finds an allele you have increases your risk of some horrendous disease. The people in this thread are arguing with you that you should still be able to afford healthcare. You’re arguing you shouldn’t.

Bookmarked and will come back to this. One thing that may be if interest to add is for AMD cards with 20gb of ram. I’d suppose that it would be Qwen 2.5 34B with maybe less strict quant or something.

Also, it may be interesting to look at the AllenAI molmo related models. I’m kind of planning to do this myself but haven’t had time as yet.

This is the answer.

We really need regulation at the FCC level also, such that users are able to physically disable any and all WiFi radios in the device. I want to buy a tv and completely physically disable any wireless radios there in (I don’t want my electronics band hopping in free WiFi unless I’ve asked them too).

We also need privacy regulation at the FTC such that any product capable of connecting to the internet discloses such, gives the user at any time an export of the data it has waiting for export or the last export it did, and allows for the owner to disable any such data export over the internet on a permanent basis.

This seems cool. I like to run my steam set up in a flatpak (in part because I don’t really like 32 bit binaries cluttering up my main paths) so I’ll wait h til they release it there. Or perhaps I’ll get involved and see if I can’t package this up myself.

I think in this case an argument could be made for personal culpability, and I for one hope they are charged with manslaughter.

Arch Linux has a very strong reputation as the best Linux

I use arch btw (well, cachyos). I don’t really ever text anyone or even talk about it online though

Edit: CachyOS edition:

CachyOS Linux has been working with a variety and a lot more features to improve performance

Even if they don’t force a huge fine (arguably they should literally dissolve the company, sell any assets, equally distributing the proceeds to all employees), at least we can have a tiny step forward. Progress can come in fits and starts, and it can also come one tiny little slice at a time.

I like how people act like not voting is some mega message to people. Like guys, most of the population already doesn’t vote. You’re not sending any message when you don’t vote. You want to move California left of this guy? Go vote for the most left candidate. Vote in the primaries for the most left candidate. You get where you want to go with solutions to the problems you have by voting, not by not voting.

I mean democrats categorically support unions, support reproductive rights, support protecting the environment… They do have a platform that isn’t “not Republican”. It’s just that republicans know their platform (project 2025 really) is so wildly unpopular they have to focus not on that, they have to focus on tearing down the opposing candidate.

In terms of helping the working class: taxing the wealthy and wealthy corporations more will help the working class. Improving access to low cost / affordable healthcare will help the working class. Having strong unions will help the working class.

I was indeed using hyperbole. Med center also has a lot of ground lines. But the vast majority is unmaintained, extremely aged above ground infrastructure. That might be okay if we didn’t live somewhere that gets hurricanes and other severe events, but we do.

As a Texan, the problem is we have 0 below ground lines, we don’t stage workers even when we know storms are coming, we don’t require structures to be built in resilient ways (including solar or wind facilities for new builds) and the end result is that our communities aren’t resilient.

Sure we pay less in taxes (note: if you’re wealthy), but you need a generator and an interlock kit to have the electric uptime other places have. You’re still paying a tax to live here, it’s just not going to the government to give you a nicer community, it’s going to businesses so their execs can get wealthier.

I think I’ve tried this before but will give it another shot, maybe I just got the regular one.

I wonder too if there are genetic differences at play. Like folks that taste cilantro differently.

Anyways if it’s 90% as good as milk then that’ll be good enough for me to switch haha, thanks!

Please give me recommendations of oat milk that tastes good. I’ve been desperately looking and/or hoping for bacterial production to kick off to make it more environmentally sustainable, but I haven’t found anything that tastes remotely as good (on its own or in a latte). I drink ultrafiltered milk for what it’s worth, usually 2% so I don’t need the creamy aspect, I just like the flavor.

Yeah, I think in general people come up with veiled reasons for lower taxes but fundamentally it’s just because they don’t want to pay taxes at all.

I like taxes. I like having roads (though I want more public transportation), I like having firefighters and public parks and protected green spaces and…

Well they’d argue that the money they put in is taxed, presumably because it was income and subject to income tax. So any income used to assess tax, they’d argue is taxed.

I’d just argue any income (including from capital gains) should be taxed according to your wealth. I don’t care if it has already been assessed for tax. If it’s income, and you already have excessive wealth, you should be paying a hefty tax. The point of taxes is redistribution of wealth and communal improvement (eg infrastructure) so I really don’t care if something is taxed once twice or more times, I care that wealth is taxed and used for public good.

So the real / original answer to this was the idea that we should avoid double taxation. If you were taxed on income already, and then invested that income which is now post tax, that capital gains then should be less taxed (or some argue not taxed) because you already paid taxes on it.

I’m of the opinion that I think taxes should be based on any income you make, based on the wealth you have. Source of income for the wealthiest should be irrelevant (and yes this includes in my mind realizing gains from stocks by borrowing against them).
