Would not an authoritarian megacorporation be able to bulldoze local people more efficiently?
the reason why they are effective is precisely because of their form of government. do you think its possible to have bunch of megacity and infrastructure projects without an authoritarian government bulldozing the fuck out of local people?

Decimating cancer research to fund ballrooms and Iran
Trump's White House ballroom is no longer projected to be $400 m. It is now $600 m. and taxpayers are projected to pick up half the tab. WaPo with a big report washingtonpost.com/investigaโ€ฆ

Gemini understood my programming/OS issue without being tedious and lame af (GPT 5) or crazy and unsuccessfully hacky (Grok). Damnit, how am I supposed to keep hating the giant evil mega corporation when it's so much more functional than other giant evil mega corporations?

Made the mistake of dropping 350,000 source code files onto an SD card, this is so painful, it's like dialup internet speeds while it just sits there writing thousands of tiny files. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Even Lubuntu Linux 22.04 from late 2022 uses ~700MB of RAM at idle, and it has the same desktop environment (LXQt) as Lubuntu 26.04, someone needs to put this trillion-pound baby on a diet or even the 'lightweight' Linux will be using more RAM than Windows 11 in just a few years.
I loaded an old image of Lubuntu Linux 18.04 and you know the RAM use? 309MB Current Lubuntu 26.04 uses ~1.3GB at idle and I'm just wondering what at all has been gained since 2019 that really needed that extra GB of RAM.

the Lincoln Monument
We took a family trip to the Lincoln Monument tonight to check out the new reflecting pool. Absolutely stunning. DC is so beautiful again, just in time for our Nationโ€™s 250th. Thank you, President Trump!! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Current state of the GOP: Bailouts for Silicon Valley California AI Companies are more important than your family being able to afford to buy gas or groceries.
JUST IN: Trump announces he will meet with AI leaders next week to discuss possible U.S. government investment in their companies.

Send hippies to reeducation camps in the interest of public health.
It changes the bioavailability. Thereโ€™s no reason to pasteurize

TFW you get so annoyed at an LLM you drop the "as per my last message".

The trick is mmap seems to be very aggressive when running with the Vulkan backend, even at -ngl 0, I didn't expect that, CPU-build it was ~9gb, Vulkan it was ~2gb. Bogged a bit while swapping, but how can you beat such a tiny footprint, it's running in near the same RAM as E2B!
Gemma 4 26B-A4B-it (UD-Q4_K_M) runs too way well, it literally feels like black magic, if my old TV box can run this on an outdated i5, I have no idea why 75% of new datacenters even need to exist, at least 75% of computers made in the last 10 years could run this (sans Chromebooks) and that would be good enough for 75% of people. It's like 2 to 3gb-ish in active memory, insane.

Addendum, this -only- works when I use: GGML_VK_PREFER_HOST_MEMORY=1

TFW you finally get llama.cpp running in Linux on the outdated little sht-box that normally runs your TV.

I know Windows gets a lot of flak, but I'll be honest with you, in Windows I've never had a third of the desktop window manager just inexplicably stop working after simply attempting to change the desktop wallpaper.
Going over someone's setup guide; "If you have a Mac do this..." "If you have Linux do this..." "If you have Windows, Install Linux." Ouch... ๐Ÿ˜‚

(I fixed it eventually of course, but it took a while to figure out where everything was in this distro and what was wrong, I still don't know why it changed the file, only that it did) "It always runs real nice as a virtual machine, it'll be easy!" lol... ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Have you even seen people recently? If there were no rules or laws overnight 80% of 'medical practice' would turn into witch doctors and crystal snuffing new age quackery.
Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?
