Yeah but I like having the physical media too. Covers and such. I like bandcamp too.

Any good websites you all enjoy getting physical media at? Ive picked clean the thrift stores around where im at.

nice!!

It worked for me. Its the old style I think.

If you dont like it, you can get a lot of versions online (because its all open hardware). This is just the official supported one.

Talks about some really scammy things: https://www.try-redrover.com/

Its a bit expensive, but if you like hackable game consoles and open source games, its really fun.

You bring up some good points. Just FYI my research was specifically on ai, but a very specific branch in college. So not llm but only somewhat llm flavored.

The are already including ai chips in consumer hardware. And your thinking of llm specific limitations. But the smaller models can absolutly be thrown into hardware. Its just the algorithms are moving so fast that the hardware needs to be flexible enough. Thars the biggest reason we dont see more hardware faster than gpus. Hooe that makes sense!

Its been a minute since Ive heard of ReactOS! Its such an interesting project. From my understanding theres a lot of the same devs that helped out with early wine too. Might still im not sure.

**It does and it doesn’t. **

I worked in the industry for many years. Theres more spit and handshake agreements than people are aware of. Definitely in the Central Valley. Its a whole industry full of legal loopholes. Licensing crops can be as easy as a written signature with one page to whole multi-company rights etc…etc…

Also growers/transportation/storage/etc… are sometimes all the same multi-conglomerate and with the same owner. But have a different business license/business. That way, if one gets sued only one goes down. Also one can have a huge tax related issue and have “losses”. Lots of creative work there.

So yeah its not black and white as most people think. Significant amounts of your food is both licensed with a huge agreement…and others are “unlicensed” but licensed as a spit/handshake. Mellons are a perfect example.

Dont get me started on the commodities markets…and onions.

I dont think you understand whats happening at all. I got some awesome fruit from all this. And the article goes into much more detail than what your laying out.

Also this is an article written without the original articles…theres much more nuance within the Fresno Bee that they cite. People are making huge assumptions it seems…

Im an addict. Thats why i post.

Didnt hugging face take its inspiration from another website that hosted scientific big models to begin with? I forget.

Most people use hugging face as a glorified model download storage. I can see a competitor pop up almost instantly.

Where the “value” is in the name recognition and ability to take models they dont like down.

Bitcoin went through a similar trajectory. Graphic cards to specualty chips.

Just about haha.

Go to your local makerspace (if you have one) and start asking questions

I made a ton of ebook readers out of stuff that shoudnt be ebook readers. Its fun.

aww its sold out :( https://usa.homebrew-factory.com/nes/27-micro-mages-nes.html

I was just about to buy it. Looks really fun.

https://earthiongame.com/ is fantastic if you liked Thunderforce!

Community made apps.

Realistically i dont think the internet is going anywhere. But in the future i may spend less time on it.

However some freinds have been building a meshnet (not meshtastic) thats just a bunch of house nodes. Its been fun and theres already tangable benifits:

1. No wierd pings from 3rd parties
2. We host whatever we want
3. We pay next to nothing
4. No survalance
5. Early internet vibes
6. No copyright

Its pretty much the old internet but with housevto house. Im loving it.
