Offline LLMs exist but tend to have a few terabytes of base data just to get started (e.g. before LORAs)

So…a muppet version of the Joker?

If it is, then I failed to get the joke.

The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It’s no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don’t actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.

Andrew Tate is the kind of hyper-masculinist that drove me to walk away from my manhood, so rather than being enby (meh, whatever), I’m enby ( not a man)

All attributes that that were once virtuous of men now apply to everyone, especially all the features of adults: The rest of us are expected to conduct ourselves politely and maturely, and to take care of business. But not men, and especially not rich men.

We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.

So it’s really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.

Not 2025-12-25, or 12/25/25, or 25/12/25?

I’m confused why we have a 25th month this year.

Also, assuming the human species is still around and celebrates Christmas, there will be a 2525/12/25

Some of us knew Trump had a history of fucking 13-year-old Russian girls, way back in 2016 before the election. The victims tried to sue but were pressured to drop the suits via classic mobster-style threats of violence.

Sadly, my dad is a total MAGA loyalist.

I have contempt for Trump over a lot of things, but being gay isn’t one of them, whether or not it’s implied by circumstances.

But I do enjoy that Trump loathes being thought of as potentially gay, even though I imagine he’d fuck anything, including flags and his own daughter.

PS: Stormy Danials spanked Trump with a magazine, so he does have submissive bones in his body; at least a few.

The humor is the same font from which all the Tinder jokes are made: it’s not that they’re gay, but they’ve collectively dug a hole in which they have to hide it and slink away when the evidence reveals itself.

All that said, I think the blow Bubba comment was more likely a reference to prison sex which is situational. For some reason, we have an archetype of a scary black man named Bubba who is in – and often runs – maximum-security penitentiaries.

I thought Dickheads were those who followed Phillip K. Dick and all things Dickian.

FOSS works on the premise of an angry engineer, that someone finally got pissed off about a problem enough to write a solution.

This so tracks.

All we need is for the communist government to say we like what you’re trying to do. Here’s an allowance for expenses!

A yawn is a signal to regain some alertness, so when you yawn in order to become more awake, it signals your fellow life forms they might want to be alert too. 🥱

I’m reminded of the redaction that was a page of black lines with a single word, approximately center-page, that was still legible:

You know, all of the twenty first century so far in the US could be someone mucking around with a monkey paw.

…Or a time machine.

To be fair, Clinton won the majority in 2016. Trump won because the EC fucked America. Again, as per the last time a Republican was elected without being an incumbent.

If we don’t fix the Electoral College, I anticipate more Republicans will be unexpectedly elected in upcoming general elections.

A hill I will die on: Marie Antoinette deserved better.

I use my context menu key as the chording key to control any keyboard macro profiles, so that I can terminate, reload, summon for editing or summon a help file as needed.

There are VPNs that operate in stealth mode so they don’t look like VPN traffic as they’re being used.

Still illegal, but not detectable. No riskier than being a political activist antagonistic to the state.

The first thing that comes up on a websearch is books being chained to desks, to keep them from getting borrowed. I can’t imagine monks chained to their desks will be motivated to do good work, let alone fine art like illumination. Especially if they’re under a deadline, which would serve to propagate errors and misspellings.
