I dont need a laptop right now but damn this thing is sexy. Its been a long time since hardware gave me that "do want" itch even though i dont need it. Ryzen would have been great but even with an Intel SOC this thing is a compelling package.
show me that magic llm which doenst infringe the copyright of nearly everybody, which doesnt have an unprecedentet impact on the enviroment to train and run, which wont be used to cut of people from their income, which isnt owned by technocratic billionaire assholes, which isnt peddled and promoted by fascist goverments, which doesnt halluzinate, which isnt a blackbox, which actually works and doesnt fail at the simplest tasks sometimes, which doesnt infringe my privacy(allegedly tbf, but you know). the list goes on.
sure, sure technology itself isnt evil. but thats not a hill i want to die on in case of llms. they're problematic on so many levels. full stop. i dont think its a naive take to have some skepticism against this clusterfuck. potentially some technologies could make the world a better place. but llms dont fit into this category.
Why not both?
oh god, please dont. idgaf about iphones. but the android side tends to copy those dickheads. fml
I tend to make falafels myself. The "correct" way with the dried chickpeas is tedious, though. Watering them the day before, then mincing them the next day and so on. But with cooked and canned chickpeas you can make falafels too. The secret ingridient is a bit of starch and flour to bind the falafel mass. Without that the falafels would fall apart in the pan. But with that in mind i have my falafel "dough" made in under half an hour. Chickpeas, diced onions, diced garlic, the usual herbs(or get creative), starch, flour all go in to a bowl. I crush the peas with a fork at the start. Leaving some unbroken for better mouthfeel. Then just knead the dough until its uniform. If you keep your hands watered the dough doesnt stick to much to your hands when forming the balls.
The "water" from the chickpea can can be used to make a vegan mayonaise(ish) sauce and a lot of other stuff btw.
Its a bit more work then just ready to be cooked stuff but just make one time a bulk of them and then freeze them. Idk how the stuff in canade tastes. But atleast here most of the ready to eat stuff is so much worse than selfmade.
Icq "ah ohhhhh"
