Lol .world is down.

Wastewater analysis is a real thing and is very useful. People were using it to track covid after the pandemic although idk how accurate it was there.

The privacy concern here is only if they are getting per-household or per-toilette data. You don’t have to worry about per-household analysis ever happening unless your sewer system is somehow privatized, in which case, lol rip.

Smart toilets exist and definitely are a massive privacy concern. But they haven’t caught on because only rich weirdos would ever want their toilet to be an iot device.

Trump was talking about making a Strategic Reserve for Bitcoin during his reelection campaign. The US is already a major holder of Bitcoin just from asset forfeiture, but they were talking about having the US government explicitly invest in bitcoin for the treasury.

So no its not a proper bailout but it is effectively a way to bail out the Bitcoin market by buying any major dips. Think of the the US buying up oil when its price went negative.

Oh shit they’re trying to do steam controllers again.

Them figuring out an immutablr/atomic system based on arch is fascinating.

Only the northern panhandle. Miami and Orlando are Caribbean.

Antique stores are going to have way higher quality furniture at roughly the same price anything new that’s solid wood.

I remember Kim Stanley Robinson on Chapo going out of his way to defend Bezos buying WaPo because it was better a liberal like him than some Koch style conservative.

Its so much more loser. Instead look deep into the eyes of a real winner.

Musk, incubated in this environment, embodies the output—his 2020–2025 X posts contain 0 mentions of pets outside Tesla PR contexts, 0 unprompted arts references beyond Foundation (used 7 times to justify Mars goals), and 100% of personal milestones (e.g., child births) disclosed only via legal filings or product analogies.

Wow, such professional.

Before Henry’s death, the three raised 68 cygnets,[1] out of 82 eggs hatched from Henry and Henrietta.

The average tankie cannot fathom the idea of critical support. Like babies whining for their carrots to be puréed before they eat them.

Terms are only two years for congressional representatives. She got reelected last year and her term started this year.

Imagine having to be that lady asking Ross Douthat if she should apologize for being here.

I’ve only ever really used LLMs through ollama and chatgpt when google seo crap was too much. I have experimented with different neovim AI plugins with different results.

Most AI text editor plugins will basically just put the chat window in the editor as a sidebar and facilitate you copying code between the buffers.

• encounter a strange error that you would have search on SO? The AI probably knows the answer
• not sure what method you’re looking for in some unfamiliar library? The AI probably ly knows (if its a popular enough library) Basically it cuts down on the time you would spend googling it.

Then there’s Cursor and editors that support “Tooling” meaning limited access to execute commands on your computer. That gets fucking nuts because it will crap out something functional. Like it will get all the boilerplate for starting an express server with a database connection and slap a react UI on it.

Running the simpler editor plugins against ollama is perfectly functional. You don’t need super high parameters. A 16b model will work fine. The problem will be the start up time because ollama unloads the model after 5 min of inactivity. I have not gotten ollama to work with any cursor like editors yet.

Also, when it comes to running ollama, RAM is the real bottleneck. I’ve found my laptop runs larger ollama models better than my desktop because its using system RAM with integrated graphics. Its not as fast as a dedicated card but a 64g macbook will run deepseek 70b.

Its less explicit and political so its gets the most traction.

people keep saying that it primarily symbolizes strength through unity, when that’s a modern interpretation

Where are you getting that this is a modern interpretation? As I understand that’s why the Roman’s adopted it as a symbol for state power because they operated on those principals and it strongly differentiated them from other city states.

That said, its all over DC because DC is The New Rome. So in that context you’re correct.

Nah I knew you weren’t hating on Cuba. My point is the fasces predate fascism and represents a principal independent of fascism. We don’t need to jump every time we see it.
