    1. Rotation is meaningless without an external reference frame to compare against. Consider that right now the planet (and your body) is rotating at ~1000km/h but to us it feels stationary. We only know the planet rotates because we observe effects like the sun,moon,stars rotate around us (which ancient peoples misunderstood as earth-centerism thinking everything rotates around us)

    2. Rotation mathematically requires a center axis to rotate around. There is no true center to our observable universe, only subjective perspective reference frames. wherever you are is the center from your perspective. So there is no definitive geometric center axis of our universe to rotate around.

  • "Yeah, I mean who even does that, right?" nervously side eyes Garrett from the Thief Series with his occasional cool ass one-liners

  • Okay but what the fuck is up with the first un-highlighted part?

  • Your thirst is mine, my water is yours! ... Oh shit, wrong sci-fi world I think my bad

  • ... I really hoped that this wasn't a thing, but im not surprised in the least.

    Its just fucking painful, man.

  • Hi there Blaze! I hope all your non-human extended family are doing well. Im a cat hoarder, and the kids have two hermit crabs. All my cats except for one are old seniors so they have some minor health stuff. I could go into all the little details but I think it suffices to say that they're all still here with me, I love them all (even the stupid crabs) im very grateful for that.

  • Well, after enough of these post I finally had enough. I don't want to be associated with all this or these kinds of people. PieFed it is!

  • Use a local model, learn some toolcalling and have it retrieve factual answers from a database like wolfram alpha if needed. . We have a community over at c/localllama@sh.itjust.works all about local models. if your not very techy I recommend starting with a simple llamafile which is a one click executable EXE that packages engine and model together in a single file.

    Then move on to a real local model engine like kobold.cpp running a quantized model that fits in your computer especially if you have a graphics card and want to offload via CUDA or Vulcan. Feel free to reply/message me if you need further clarification/guidance

    I would start with a 7b q4km quant see if your system can run that.

  • You know something cm0002 just wanted to let you know I appreciate the dichotomy formed between posting these shitpost memes making fun of corporate AI trash one second while simultaneously posting genuinely informative news keeping the localllama community updated the next. It helps keep it real.

    I havent used twitter in many years. Do they really let their llms have a twitter account and be taggable like this? I though they would have learned it doesnt worked out so great when microsoft tried it with TayAI years ago.

  • As a bonus their mom briefly became socialist when she freely shared some crabs and HIV with you :)

  • Hi, hope you don't mind me giving my two cents.

    Local models are at their m9st useful in daily life when they scrape data from a reliable factual database or from the internet and then present/discuss that data to you through natural language conversation.

    Think about searching for things on the internet now a days. Every search provider stuffs ads in top results and intentionally ofsucates the links your looking for especially if its a no-no term like pirating torrent sites.

    Local llms can act as an advanced generalized RSS reader that automatically fetches articles and sources, send STEM based queries to wolfram alpha llm api and retrieve answers, fetch the weather directly from openweatherAPI, retrieve definitions and meanings from local dictionary, retrieve Wikipedia article pages from a local kiwix server, search ArXiv directly for prior searching. One of Claude's big selling points is the research mode toolcall that scrapes hundreds of sites to collect up to date data on the thing your researching and presenting its finins in a neat structured way with cited sources. It does in minutes what would traditionally take a human hours or days of manual googling.

    There are genuine uses for llms if your a nerdy computer homelab type of person familiar databases, data handling and can code up/integrate some basic api pipelines. The main challenge is selling these kinds of functions in an easy to understand and use way for the tech illiterate who already think bad of llms and similar due to generative slop. A positive future for llms integrated into Firefox would be something trained to fetch from your favorite sources and sift out the crap based on your preferences/keywords. More sites would have APIs for direct scraping and the key adding process would be one click button

  • My grid power is sourced from a nuclear reactor. It would literally be steam powered because reactors are glorified steam turbines.

  • Either my reference wasn't clear enough or the trailer park boys has seriously faded in cultural relevance.

  • I'm interested in how many of those dog bites are contributed by pitbulls and rotweilers. I don't like to perpetuate stereotypes but every physically intimidating hyperaggressive dog ive met has been a one of those. People want the safety that comes with those killing machines but they refuse to properly train them and cook up some serious cope when their precious furry son breaks their electric fence and bites the face off a child walking by.

  • so real

  • Inferior rehash version of the OG

  • Thats the judaochristian concept of God with all the "all knowing all controlling Lord Father King that will punish you forever if you infringe their arbitrary rules"

    Its a shame that western teenagers and disillusioned adults tend to rather reach for satanism as an edgey reactionary "dont actually believe it but want to visibly show I'm against the church" instead of breaking open eastern philosophy books and learning about concepts from things like Daoism or bhuddism. Not all concepts of the Divine are so super controlling arbiters of morality like what our popular religions over here try to sell us on.

  • There are dozens of public access Unix servers that offer free email to their users. I can personally attest to using tilde.team for a few years.

  • I hate that the basic polygons and their 3d counterparts are all people think of theyre so boring. Fuck Circles/spheres, Fuck squares/cubes, and no, hexagons are not the bestagons. You want to know what natures perfect shape is? Its a tie between the Mandelbrot Set and maybe Pascals Triangle if you consider that a kind of data structure shape. Your shape efficently packs interior space in a minimum surface area? Thats cool, mine encodes the entirety of combinatorics with fractal geometry and acts as an actual map showing the boundaries between order and chaos. Your shape aperiodically tiles the plane? Thats neat, mine geometrically encodes the logistic map which governs things like animal population changes over time.

    Imagine a race of star treck aliens flying around in one of these things and tell me it wouldn't be more visually interesting than a big technophile bondage cube.

  • This is from the scene where Ricky graditated from the eighth grade right?
