Thanks, I just placed my order!

Can't you just distill it from ketchup potato chips?

Anyone running a newer MacBook Pro can install Ollama and run it with just a few commands:

brew install ollama

ollama run deepseek-r1:14b

Then you can use it at the terminal, but it also has API access, so with a couple more commands you can put a web front end on it, or with a bit more effort you can add it to a new or existing app/service/system.

Unfortunately I think most businesses will still prefer that their AI solution is hosted by a company like OpenAI rather than maintaining their own. There's still going to be a need for these large data centers, but I do hope most people realize that hosting your own LLM isn't that difficult, and it doesn't cost you your privacy.

They just asked a few people if they thought it was written by an LLM. /s

I mean, you can tell when something is written from ChatGPT, especially if the person isn't using it for editing, but is just asking it to write a complaint or request. It is likely they are only counting the most obvious, so the actual count is higher.

Wait, so mandating return to office in the middle of flu season has resulted in more people getting sick? Who could have seen that coming?

Yes, that's how it works when one thing is more expensive than another thing. But people do save up money through one part of their life to spend during another part of their life. And they aren't the only people who used to think that Tesla's were cool tech cars.

Think of it as a methadone clinic for doomscrollers.

Is facial hair even cool any more?

There's a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

Let's move them to Florida's South East Coast. There's hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: "If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let's work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here."

And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

And fuck this guy... why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?

Ah yes, just what we need in a burgeoning online community: people discouraging interactions.

HereBeter is saying that trump is a legal criminal... you know, since he has been found guilty of many crimes, yet hasn't had to have any consequences.

This is a lot like how our government is all concerned about National Security™ when it comes to pretty much anything else, but a bipartisan bill, supported by both of the last 2 presidents, and upheld unanimously by our current dysfunctional Supreme Court, with National Security™ as the excuse, and we still have Tiktok.

Laws are only there so the ruling class can keep us in line and them in power, and they will never be enforced homogenously.

The volume of the pardons and the crimes of the pardonees

He's making room in the prisons for what he considers to be 'real crime' (anything to do with the marginalized or those who don't support him).

Wait, so would this be in exchange for Greenland?

As for the travel argument, kids are so much fun to travel with! Experiencing new places through a child's eyes!? They ask some great questions, and you get to hone in your own opinions as you decide the best way to explain life to them. Travel is the best way to raise tolerant and knowledgeable children. If you're concerned about more... hedonistic travel just realize that you only get 18 to 20 years with them in your daily life, those designations will still be there. If you're afraid that's a long time then you likely haven't had your 20th high school reunion yet.

it simply produces things with bugs

And the small companies will realize that you need to start investing in your QA again - because NO ONE does adequate QA any more. Every piece of software I interact with these days is shit. If you are a developer, I'm talking to you: your code might be great, but the overall product is shit because no one is adequately testing the functionality. I get it, Testing is expensive... but now that you need fewer developers, hire some QA engineers. Just because we've moved on to 'continuous improvement' doesn't mean we can't do better.

skeet (the generally accepted term for a Bluesky post)

Can we just agree that they are all just "posts"? No more "tweets", "Toots", "xeets", etc... it's just a post.
