Someone should make a programming language like Rust, but that doesn't crash.

Oh for sure. I wasn’t disagreeing with the warning, just providing some context so people can judge the risk.

It isn’t like you were telling them to install Shockwave Flash or anything 😂

Thanks a ton, saves me having to navigate the slopped up search results ('AI' as a search term is SEOd to death and back a few times)

I dunno what card you have now, but hybrid CPU+GPU inference is the trend days.

That system has the 3080 12GB and 64GB RAM but I have another 2 slots so I could go up to 128GB. I don't doubt that there's a GLM quant model that'll work.

Is ollama for hosting the models and LM Studio for chatbot work still the way to go? Doesn't seem like there's much to improve in that area once there's software that does the thing.

Unless you're incredibly rich, a terrorist or otherwise wanted by an intelligence service or going to DEFCON the chances of you being targeted with a Spectre-like attack is almost zero. I don't think there has been a single, large scale attack using this family of exploits.

These are spook exploits, not steal your credit card and bitcoins exploits.

I certainly agree that appeasing Trump isn't going to work.

A thread about death threats on these members isn't the proper context to bring up that kind of argument.

This situation isn't a result of them voting on the CR so that comment is, at best, bad taste and at worst a toxic attempt at sowing division.

Yeah, you do want more contextual intelligence than an 8B for this.

Oh yeah, I'm sure. I may peek at it this weekend. I'm trying to decide if Santa is going to bring me a new graphics card, so I need to see what the price:performance curve looks like.

Massive understatement!

I think I stopped actively using image generation a little bit after LoRAs and IP Adapters were invented. I was trying to edit a video (random meme gif) to change the people in the meme to have the faces of my family, but it was very hard to have consistency between frames. Since there is generated video, it seems like someone solved this problem.

I don't know the details or the bills, but it isn't uncommon for people in contested seats to be allowed by the party to vote in a poll-favorable way when their vote won't change the outcome.

Simply, counting 'Times voted with Trump' doesn't say much that is useful and can be misleading, especially in the context of a post about death threats to politicians.

Social media can have a very us or them mentality. If you're not 100% lock step with the group then you're an enemy to be scored and attacked. I read that comment as 'Yeah, they're getting death threats but they voted with Trump so they deserved it ()".

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into GLM Air, I haven't looked into the current state of the art for self-hosting in a while.

I just use this model to translate natural language into JSON commands for my home automation system. I probably don't need a reasoning model, but it doesn't need to be super quick. A typical query uses very few tokens (like 3-4 keys in JSON).

The next project will be some kind of agent. A 'go and Google this and summarize the results' agent at first. I haven't messed around much with MCP Servers or Agents (other than for coding). The image models I'm using are probably pretty dated too, they're all variants of SDXL and I stopped messing with ComfyUI before video generation was possible locally, so I gotta grab another few hundred GB of models.

It's a lot to keep up with.😮‍💨

Ah.

GloriousEggroll keeps a version of proton that uses all of steam updates plus additional updates made by the community (to fix odd issues) and protonfixes (a database of scripts to make the weird game-specific configurations you need to make sometimes). I use it exclusively because I've had issues with regular Proton. I think the default Proton versions are still version 9(or there's an experimental Wine 10 version). GE-Proton10 is using Wine 10, so it has support for native Wayland and HDR.

Your distro probably has protonup-qt in its repo. It's a GUI to download and install various community proton versions. Just run it, click install new version and grab the latest GE-Proton10-(28?) and restart Steam and it'll show up in the list of Proton versions that you can pick.

I'm not exactly sure the point that you're trying to make?

She's received death threats.

...but she voted with Trump

Therefore: ???
