  • But somebody made a decision to not have you guys killed

    Absolutely, not questioning that for a moment!(Same reason my wife wears similar lights when riding her horse along public roads in winter also it also looks embarrasing).

    My military time has been before the incident you mentiioned btw (got drafted in 1995 for 10 months), which makes the incident even more tragic (if they didn't use the warning lights), as the lights at the rear seem to already have been common practice in some armies at the time...

  • I fondly remember back in the days doing military exercise marches on public roads:The last soldier in the column would have to walk with a signalling light attached to the top of his helmet.I typically walked in some front row (benefit of being tall and placed there for some military-aesthetics reasons), so was at least spared that embarrassment. :-)

  • A tempting offer, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline

    Jump

  • we’re all hanging around in Messenger groups with some “Is a real human” vetting process

    I think there is a very high likelihood this, or a communication concept based on this, will be the future. Maybe like SSL trusted identity certificates, but not for websites, but for users.

  • Let's be realistic.

    A "No AI" community is also just material tacked as first grade training data for the next wave of AI bots.

    But for now, it at least still is a slightly nicer place to be, so I savour it as long as it lasts...

  • It’s fine… we’re all fine…

  • Or IT equipment.Or (looking at the current draught during our 6th heat wave this year) water.

  • Don't have card bro

    Jump

  • A bit much of a hassle to save 7.99€...

    Also those useful prepaid credit cards silently seem to have disappeared (at least where I live).Had to switch to a neobroker that issues credit cards as an alternative some years back.

  • Anyone knows, why 4bit quant is only marginally smaller than 8bit quant, though?And shouldn't 8bit be roughly equal to the number of parameters anyway, so ~300GB?

  • unsloth/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-GGUF · Hugging Face

    Jump

  • Wow, already unsloth quantizations available? That was fast.Didn't even know they released the weights until just about now.This will probably also mean that we will have alternative providers on Openrouter soon. Can't wait.

    DS V4 will have a huge impact on many usecases. Dirt cheap and insanely capable, if only a part of the benchmarks translate to real life.

    Increasingly interesting times for the big US AI companies, I guess...

  • How to run Qwen 35b-a3b on 4GB to 8GB of VRAM (with 24+GB system RAM)

    Jump

  • Some comment, as I am running the model in a very similar setup, only with koboldcpp and a much older PC (but featuring more RAM):

    I noticed that the speed penalty of using the 8bit quantization compared to the 4bit one is negligible in my case for some reason (perhaps 20%).

    So, if you have enough system RAM, one might give this a try.Output quality increase is noticeable, and might be worth the reduced speed for you, if not too huge.

  • they are not my friends

  • Never thought I would feel grateful that the bank notifications I got so far in my live have been practically 100% inquiries to go see my bank clerk so he can sell me an underperforming pension scheme...

  • Why won't you have kids??

    Jump

  • Well, but still during the eighties most of the houses in my area burned brown coal in crude ovens to heat their homes, the cars spit out blue, only half-burned lead-enriched and carbohydrate-tasting exhaust in huge amounts, while the surrounding forests were dying because of all the unfiltered sulphuric acid the power plants emitted.

    During winter, we often had dense smog in the valley, heavily tasting like a mixture of wood smoke and burnt rubber and triggering frequent coughing.

    And just staying in the inside also wasn't that great of an option, as constant cigarette smoke was a given everywhere.

    If I had to name one thing that definitely has gotten better by an insane amount, it would the air quality.

  • Why won't you have kids??

    Jump

  • Generally agree, but where did the air quality decrease compared to some decades back?

    (80s kid here, so maybe my brain is to slow to realize it, because of the remains still in my bloodstreams of the lead fumes and unfiltered coal power plant exhausts I inhaled back then...)

  • Well, according to OPs meme, you are all nihilistic doomerists ;-)No, believe me, my GenX humor is much more stupider!

  • Meh, how often do you really do some serious work where you’re not on your own hardware?

    As a SW dev in a predev lab / tech demonstration environment: Unfortunately much more often than you would perhaps think...

  • It’s a sign of the times

    Jump

  • Naa, we'll be bitching about AI instead when it's our turn! ;-)

  • It’s a sign of the times

    Jump

  • I guess it is a superposition of both.

    Current stage in life setting the general tone/direction (edgy young, sense-searching youth, family-focused middle age, backwards-directed old).

    And the time of upbringing determines the content to focus on and the specific type of execution (e.g. when reaching the "old" group some time soon, I will probably bitch about completely other things than current boomers and my memes will be more high-quality due to better skills, but I won't be doing TikToks...)

  • It’s a sign of the times

    Jump

  • While that has some truth to it, I wonder if it is based on some intrinsic properties of the respective generations, or rather just on their current age and stage in life.

    E.g. GenX has been the dominant parent generation for the past 20 or so years. Naturally they are doing dad jokes.While GenZ is young, experimental, and rebelling against the perceived conventions.

    But I clearly remember a time when Millenials were as avant-garde as GenZ is now.And my Millenial wife has been on the track to slowly convert to the slightly stupid but harmless GenX-type of humor for some time now.

    So maybe within a few years your meme will be almost the same, with the only difference that the generation captions have each moved one place, with GenAlpha superseding GenZ in the lower right corner...

  • I have to reserve the limited keystroke remembering capacity of my aging brain to more crucial stuff, I am afraid...

    Also, the tiny time span passing while mindlessly holding down the "" key is a welcome pause to clear your mind, take a short breath and gather your thoughts on what the heck you are supposed to be writing in the comment body following the /**********/ line. ;-)
