The number of ads that are like “Hey AI, make me a personalized exercise plan.”

Like, do you know how many fucking exercise plans are out there? Do you have an unusual quantity of legs that would require custom tailoring? Just pick one.

Put on shoes. Run. The lack of AI is not what’s standing in your way.

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.

Thanks for the link. I was gonna ask if you were a writer, heh.

I agree. The tone of the ads this year felt almost like lampshading. Like if we acknowledge the problem, we're wise to what the audience is feeling, but we're not going to do a damn thing to address it. It's just something that needs to be done to make the ad feel remotely relevant.

AI is scary, but don't be afraid of our surveillance device because we acknowledged that AI is scary

AI will sell you ads. Anyway, you're watching an ad for AI

Work sucks amirite? Why not let us unemploy you?

There's a wealth gap. Spend money on our stuff.

And I'm not going to even link the He Gets Us ads.

I’m mostly trying to describe a feeling I don’t hear named very often

That Funny Feeling?

It was an especially interesting case because there was a question of whether the photographer lied about who actually took the picture. So he could either claim the monkey took it an lose the copyright or claim he took it and have it lose all value.

Mouse? I thought that was a koala all these times.

Those aren't for sharpening. They're for honing the blade. A sharp edge is thin enough to get bent out of shape during normal use, so the honing tip serves to straighten the edge, not sharpen it.

My incredibly racist late grandmother asked me in 2020 if I was voting for "the other guy."

ch00f ,

Don't worry. Her husband died in like 1985, and she lived off his government pension for 35 years.

Since half of everything is fake today, this is real.

GO self-hosted,

So yours and another comment I saw today got me to dust off an old docker container I was playing with a few months ago to run deepseek-r1:8b on my server's Intel A750 GPU with 8gb of VRAM. Not exactly top-of-the-line, but not bad.

I knew it would be slow and not as good as ChatGPT or whatever which I guess I can live with. I did ask it to write some example Rust code today which I hadn't even thought to try and it worked.

But I also asked it to describe the characters in a popular TV show, and it got a ton of details wrong.

8b is the highest number of parameters I can run on my card. How do you propose someone in my situation run an LLM locally? Can you suggest some better models?

ch00f ,

Any suggestions on how to get these to gguf format? I found a GitHub project that claims to convert, but wondering if there’s a more direct way.

Well, not off to a great start.

To be clear, I think getting an LLM to run locally at all is super cool, but saying "go self hosted" sort of gloms over the fact that getting a local LLM to do anything close to what ChatGPT can do is a very expensive hobby.

ch00f ,

Thanks for taking the time.

So I'm not using a CLI. I've got the intelanalytics/ipex-llm-inference-cpp-xpu image running and hosting LLMs to be used by a separate open-webui container. I originally set it up with Deepseek-R1:latest per the tutorial to get the results above. This was straight out of the box with no tweaks.

The interface offers some controls settings (below screenshot). Is that what you're talking about?

ch00f ,

I'll give that a shot.

I'm running it in docker because it's running on a headless server with a boatload of other services. Ideally whatever I use will be accessible over the network.

I think at the time I started, not everything supported Intel cards, but it looks like llama-cli has support form Intel GPUs. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

ch00f ,

No it isn’t.

ch00f ,

It was.

So was the episode of Silicon Valley that the above image is from. https://www.cracked.com/article_49720_kid-rocks-cameo-on-silicon-valley-is-going-viral-for-obvious-reasons.html

I thinks this would have been funnier if they showed the phone at the end.

That’s not even close to the worst of it.

But a cattery couldn't be used in a circuit. It only has a cathode.

Not sure if this is intentional or if the author doesn't understand the source they're parodying, but putting multiple brackets around a word (in this case "job”) in a conspiracy/political context can be interpreted as a antisemitic dogwhistle.

Edit: I hope you'll read my careful wording in that I did not imply the author meant anything by this. I was simply bringing it up in case it was unintentional. I've since learned that some people use <<>> instead of quotes.

ch00f ,

TIL. Thanks.

...Trying to work out if there's a way you could orient a camera, the subject, and the observer such that they could see a picture of when you were older.

ch00f ,

Nope. Mirrors show you what you looked like when you were 3-4 nanoseconds younger.

Yo momma's so fat, she sat on a binary tree and squashed it into a linked list in O(1) time.

You realize this is fake though, right? Like look at the description.

ch00f ,

I haven’t watched the video and i’m not saying this is real

In the era of AI slop, you really need to resist the urge to "well ackshally" shit like this. It's a waste of everyone's time and you've now spent more time thinking about it than the prompter did creating it.

ch00f ,

Yeah, wow and in this one he captured a fucking plane crash, you moron.

ch00f ,

So we're saying the plane crash vid is real too?

Jesus we're cooked.

    What’s funny is that it works even when people know the initial price is bullshit.

    A study at MIT had people participate in a silent auction. They were asked to list the last two digits of their social security number and then asked if they would be willing to pay that many dollars for each item before placing their bid.

    On average, people with higher SSN digits bid more.

    Do Super Bowl Ads For "AI" Signal a Bubble About to Burst? ( slashdot.org )

    The sheer saturation of new A.I. gambits, added to the mismatch with consumer priorities, gives this year's NFL showcase the sector-specific recession-indicator vibes that have defined Super Bowls of the past. 2022 was a pride-cometh-before-the-fall event for the cryptocurrency bubble, which collapsed in such spectacular fashion ...

    ch00f ,

    How about the ad for Ai.com which basically said "the future AI. Sign up now to get a short username. We will not answer questions."

    that

    "It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the hardware stores. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters. It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise. All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame. *It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this, so that they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts (again)."

    Police radio is largely encrypted these days.

    For two minutes until they just fallback to their cell phones probably.

    Also, you might be interfering with EMS with that strategy.

    My favorite take I heard today is that Kid Rock is just another name for Epstein's Island.

    ch00f ,

    Yeah, it would have to be defined as a one-sided limit.

    I’m not super well versed on how this works, but many of them depend on sponsorship deals to be able to train and compete and the level they do. Those deals probably depend on them at least appearing pro-USA.

    We can all talk about how we’d like the protest what’s going on in this country, but asking someone to give up the opportunity to compete on a global stage at the thing they’ve trained literally their whole life to do is a very tall order.

    ch00f ,

    Sweet. All the astronauts working for NASA should probably quit too.

    ch00f ,

    It's called empathy my dude. Put yourself in the shoes of an athlete who has maybe one chance in a lifetime to perform on a global stage what they've been training their whole life for. They're not harming anyone by competing, and their withdrawal from the event would accomplish absolutely nothing.

    What’s fun is how often this principle is used every day. For example, when you upload a video to YouTube, you’re assigned a unique URL, but it would be too slow to simply add your URL to a list to make sure nobody else uses it. There are millions of videos uploaded every day, and thousands of servers spread all over the world.

    Instead, YouTube just generates a truly random URL and depends on the odds of two videos having the same URL being effectively zero.

    The same is true for Bitcoin. If you could guess a Bitcoin private key for any currently used wallet, you’d have full access to the funds within that wallet. This can even be done offline. Even if you could guess trillions of private keys per second, the odds of you hitting even one that’s already been used is low enough to be totally secure.

    Yeah, that happens fairly frequently. I don't have an Amazon account, so I personally roll with the punches.

    What's really fun is when you have to return one of those items and they don't know what to do.

    Was just in Silver Platters in Seattle. They still have one. Touch screen to boot. But it looks like it's been broken for quite a while.
