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?

Good news everyone! Lifetimes will automatically be adjusted to ensure these events will remain “once in a lifetime”.

Them being the biggest party is very much cause for concern. I remember Janmaat’s party being just a general political laughing stock. It is not a total disaster. Yet.

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.

It’s worth bearing in mind this war could be over in a single second, if the Russian army and its various mercenaries hoisted the white flag and proceeded to leave Ukraine and went back to Russia.

The Fairphone is faster - although perhaps not by a huge amount, has better battery life and a better camera. The official spare parts shop has parts for the Fairphone 3 onwards, earlier models’ parts are sold out. The Fairphone 2 was released in 2015 and has stopped receiving software updates this year, the 3 came out in 2019. 8 years of support and replacement parts seems to me to be much better than what Samsung or Google would offer you.

His right to have a whale of a time.

482 dog attacks in 2022 resulting in criminal action but a fraction are caused by this particular breed.

In one recent study, researchers compared behavioural tendencies such as impulsivity and sensitivity to positive and negative stimuli – known to trigger aggressive responses – between eight dog breeds that are legislated against (including pit bull types), and 17 breeds that are not. This suggested that breed alone was a poor predictor of individual behavioural tendencies, including those related to aggression.

I pointed out that the fact you refuted wasn’t what the person you replied to was asserting.

There were two claims asserted:

• “Not a week goes by in the UK without an attack by this breed.”
• “Some survive, many do not.”

(Emphasis mine) The first is not something I can find evidence for as there seems to be no break down easily availably by breed. And as for the second, most survive , 0.1% do not.

The down votes being given for asking for data seems like I’m offending some. 🤷

as far as info on which breeds are involved, I’m sure it’s out there.

Does not seem to be as you have also failed to find it. There is aggregate data for all dogs, which yes, is easily found actually refused some of the assertions that the person made.

Banning based on breed seems like a knee jerk reaction based on anecdotes.

That one is a Staffordshire bull terrier, not the breed being banned for these attacks.

That’s 3 in 6 days.

You didn’t actually respond to my comment about a request for statistics, rather posting some individual stories. So since I posted I found this article from the BBC. It states that:

In 2022, there were 8,819 admissions to hospital in England with dog bites.

So that’s actually 24 dog attacks per day, so the problem is even more severe than you suggest, though the claim of only “some survive” then is misleading at best.

In 2022, there were 482 sentences given to owners of dangerously out of control dogs which resulted in an injury to a person in public

Out of all those hospital admissions, there’s 24 attacks a day being deemed criminal by our justice system. That data suggests that this problem is by no means limited to the XL bully breed.
