In a larger scale of rights overall, your rights to do something should end when it restricts other people’s rights. No one person should be above another. Not really how the world works, but it’s the idealistic goal.

If the door shuts…

MS also has broken and depreciated a lot of Excel’s functionality, yet it’s still the standard. People just hate change, especially the ones that aren’t actually using the product directly.

I agree but I just type calcu and that narrows it. Or if the calculator is a common thing to run, either a keyboard shortcut or taskbar.

Planes are a good analogy. Pull up any flight tracker map, and zoomed out it’s like the sky is full of planes. How can they miss each other? But then you zoom into a scale that makes more sense, and realize that usually there’s lots of room in three dimensions between them all, with ones going different directions being at different altitudes to be able to cross paths when they do.

The extra protection on things like the ISS is for more than just man made debris. The Earth is a big gravity well, constantly pulling in and running into things in space. That’s what meteors are, usually small specks of rocks, and the Earth’s atmosphere is like a windshield being driven in rain or snow (or bugs, but that doesn’t happen as much anymore :( ).

Even women without an medical issue need time for their body to catch up to the mental readiness. What you see in most porn is totally incorrect. If all is okay, 15-30 minutes of foreplay (on the rest of her body, touch is a huge thing) is best before any actual sexual action. There are some good Youtube channels that cover how to prepare a woman’s body, with the key elements being lots of touching all over, and not rushing into it. The human female body has to be convinced it is safe and secure, even if you feel turned on, but once the parts are relaxed, sex is not painful at all.

That being said, a lot of the other comments seem to pinpoint one direction to talk to a doctor about. If even your own touching hurts, something isn’t right. But once you figure that out, teach your partner to help you get both mentally and physically ready and take time to enjoy it.

So AI of the future will be more useful in more cases and use less energy and other resources. Based on… nothing within the AI technology, but on a very loose analogy.

That’s because 99% of it is inside the body, surrounding the vaginal area. I’m surprised at the wiki stating it “might” be the source of vaginal orgasms. It’s a huge mass of nerves around the area… yeah, it might be what’s doing it.

Lemmy and related places are still small enough where a regular name posting can become better known faster than large platforms. My only advice is to just review your posts before first submitting to make sure its message is clear, and if people ask questions about it, then clarify. If you want to engage and discuss things, this is part of it. You’re getting discussion. :)

Most models are going to require CUDA. There are some AMD ones out there, but it’s a totally different math and setup. As for the one I mentioned, it’s a pretty new idea so there are only a few out there, maybe just one (Qwen based). But I did get a 31B model to work on my 12GB, I just had to move from Ollama to llama.cpp to gain the control needed to set the parameters, and fine tune what it put on the CUDA to the max it would take. I had Claude help me along the way.

It’s new enough that there aren’t any good abliterated/uncensored models yet.

16GB is plenty for even older model setups. Now they’ve got a few models designed so you load just parts of the model onto the GPU (Mixture of Experts) and use the CPU for less referenced sections, so you get both reasonable speed and a much more complex model.

Dug your hole and threw out both the ladder and the shovel.

That’s the rub. Local models have some positives, but overall the source for them is a negative. And the worst thing is, we can’t fix that now. We can’t undo what’s been done, we can’t start over with new data that is fair, and we can’t seem to get AI out of where it’s been jammed in.

Agreed. The short is that AI was done wrong in so many ways, for the wrong reasons, and was the wrong direction for the goal they continue to insist they are trying to reach. The science and technology and what it can do, even the worst of it, is fascinating, but this is not what it should have been. Money corrupted yet another thing.

If you have a few things that work better without or don’t need the VPN, like some games, a good VPN will have a tunneling feature to let that one thing through while staying on for everything else.

Make the missing pieces. Various ways to do that, from hand drawing it in if you’re good or the picture there is simple. Do a reverse search to find the puzzle box photo or the original image it came from and use that. AI, if you’re not against that, could probably fill in that pretty well. Or just leave it, chances are depending where the pieces are most people may not even notice.

That’s just a matter of circumstance. How many of them would stay that way if you knew them?

I usually don’t have a problem with persons individually. But as a herd animal, people suck.

The why of mass is “just” more material within the same unit area.

What always gets me is how adding one more of the pieces of matter, specifically another proton, changes the very properties of that atom, sometimes dramatically.

There’s been a few videos on Youtube lately discussing using a particular Qwen model that lets you load only particular expert sections at a time onto the GPU and the rest in RAM. This one was the first I watched (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_5pdcD3HY), I haven’t tried it, but it makes sense on why it would work.
