  • Kamala Harris won politicaly engaged voters, but lost voters who don't follow politics.

  • We cant split hairs on demographic turnout if overall turnout is way down from 2020, I mean we can make Latinos a scapegoat, but again we're completely subverting critique that could actually help win an election.

    1. Less vocal on support for trans rights than Biden in his campaign and first days of presidency despite literal millions being poured into anti trans ads.
    2. Yes, the whole genocide thing, like talking about it or not, Michigan for example certainly lost a huge blue voting block just by the more predominantly Arab districts alone. Michigan, red. And nobody was thinking trump was the better option there, they just did not feel the need to participate
    3. They only mentioned how grave a threat a fascist who has openly talked about subverting democracy, and then were more than cordial when it came to a loss. The DNC didnt fail to mention, its that its not worth shit because trump is still a free man and our laws should have upheld those principles. You can remind people how presumeably bad it was, but it doesnt mean anything if youre not offering a clear better alternative while our system of laws is literally failing us.

    God forbid Biden were to have run again, it would've still been a landslide, and he aint a woman. Maybe old as shit, but there is still a lot more common issues people grew to not like so much about Biden, then Kamala said she wouldnt be any different from.

    I dump this comment because I personally believe reductive narrative will hurt our ability to effectively work together, and probably the biggest part the dems failed.

  • We can point fingers at demographics, and certainly that may have been a part, but its reductive to say just sexism. If we accept any single reason, there will be no reason to improve our platforms.

    You've got Democratic leaning media blaming the dems for being too woke.. and more than half the country just didn't vote. We need a platform that argues in favor of worker and individual rights alike while not capitulating on either, because as soon as you do capitulate to the right, you lose support, plain and simple.

  • Well now I just feel bad for the team behind teams 🤣

  • With how much goddamn investor money they got it should be as close to perfect as possible, IMHO. We've had like 2 decades to perfect interacting online, I don't think its a technical challenge anymore.

  • Kinda lowballed and got an RX6600, honestly pretty chuffed how well it runs LLMs compared to my 2060. Still last gen, but admittedly I've only been playing factorio as of late, and Im not so graphics focused

  • I had an R5 1600x basically since it released, and I appreciate the socket lasted so long. I might as well go full AMD at this point, you've convinced me

    Jump

  • 555 drivers have given me a couple issues on my main PC, I've heard of some issues with newer cards but I figure its just a matter of time before better drivers. I haven't had to touch pci passthroughs yet and I was unsure if theres more a challenge on server hardware with Nvidia, but it sounds like I'll be happy to have CUDA

  • Xeon E5-2640 unfortunately does not, though still an upgrade of what I have now. Stream limit seems entirely configurable, so that will be just a matter of stress testing.

    Won't lie I always forget about all the new CPU hardware acceleration after using decade old hardware for so long 😅

  • I didn't even realize CUDA had a weight on LLMs, thank you!

    Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative?
