  • I think the point you might be missing from the OP, is that the person in question doesn't actually possess this knowledge or skill, but instead of being humble and admitting the gaps in their knowledge, perhaps asking a question or two when they don't understand, they just plow ahead.

    I know people like this. It's not malicious I don't think, maybe it's more of a defense mechanism? They don't want to look uninformed, so they try to fill the gaps in their knowledge with assumptions. Maybe they're right a decent amount of the time, or close enough to fool people who aren't knowledgeable on the subject. But people who are knowledgeable, will recognize what they're doing, and the lack of humility comes across as arrogance, even though that may not strictly be the case.

    It's normal to know a lot of stuff and like a wide variety of things. But you need to be humble when you don't know something.

    When I don't know something for sure, I like to say "I think it's this way, but I could be wrong." Or something like that. Or heck, if someone else has the knowledge and skills I don't, I'm right up there asking questions, I want to learn. Maybe I'll try to impress them with what little I do know on the subject by commenting or asking questions in a way that shows I understand what they're talking about, because we all want to have self worth. But faking it isn't cool, and can be harmful, or just annoying.

  • Thanks for the write-up! Specifically I'm running a framework 13 7840U, so it's ddr5, and that iGPU has no dedicated vram, it shares the main system ram.

    I'm not looking for ridiculous performance, right now for small models I'm seeing probably 3 ish words per second. But when I put bigger models in, it starts to get ridiculously slow. I'm fine waiting around, really I'm just playing with it because I can. But that's entering no fun territory haha

  • Never thought of that haha, sounds rough, but I like it

  • Just to add to this, you can do poor mans multi color by just telling the printer to pause at the exact later required, then change the filament by hand, and hit resume. It's tedious, but it works, if you need it in a pinch 🤷‍♂️

  • Is this why I can't get llama GPU acceleration on my 7840u with integrated 780m?

    I've got 96gb of ram, I can share half of that as vram. I know the performance won't be amazing, but it's gotta be better than CPU only.

    I looked into it once and saw a bunch of people complaining about lack of support, saying it's an easy fix but had to happen upstream somewhere. I can't remember what it was, just that I was annoyed 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: accidentally a word

  • Mother in law fed me pink turkey.

    She used an insta pot, loaded to the brim with turkey legs, but she set it on air fryer mode by accident. Mine was on top, so it looked fine, and she didn't notice the lower ones were raw until I'd already started eating.

    Fun night. Didn't get sick 🤷‍♂️

  • I don't disagree, but it's not the issue being discussed? 🤷‍♂️

  • That's a fair point, it's also not the issue at hand 🤷‍♂️

  • I'd rather not disclose my age on this account, but, let's just say we're not newly married.

    I will admit my statement about location sharing only being a problem if you've already got problems was a bit too binary. The issue is more nuanced.

    I see you're focusing on the cheating aspect, which to your credit is what the OP is all about. But from our perspective, that's not even an issue or a use case for the technology. We have full trust in each other. The technology is simply useful for other reasons.

    Did she make it to work in the snowstorm or rainstorm?

    Huh she's usually home by now, is she unconscious in a ditch or just stopped at the store?

    Dinner is almost ready, I just need to put this in the oven so it's ready to come out the second she walks in the door, let me make sure she's actually on her way home. Oh, she must have gotten held up at work, I'll wait a few more minutes.

    Stuff like that. Yeah there's other ways of solving those problems, and that's fine too, we just prefer the convenience.

    We don't share locations because we don't trust each other, we share because it's convenient. I guess you could say we trust each other not to go crazy with it 🤷‍♂️

    We have married friends who won't share with each other, and that's fine too.

    I'll retract my earlier statement. Location sharing is a sensitive subject, with lots of facets. Sharing or not is a personal choice. And while there can be practical benefits, I think most people would agree that using it for cheating prevention is.... Unhealthy.

  • Never went to work in a snowstorm? Or heavy rain?

    I'm not OP, but my wife and I share locations, it's endlessly convenient for coordinating. Never abused.

  • Been sharing with select friends and family for years now, zero issues. And if we did have an issue? I'm turning it off for you 🤷‍♂️ pretty simple. Frequently extremely convenient.

    A friend of a friend of mine is sharing with a friend of theirs. And it's a crap show like you said, coming over, inviting themselves to events, why were you there, etc. Everything you said. And it's still a problem, to the point where they leave their phone at home if they are doing anything sensitive, because they are afraid of hurting the person's feelings by turning it off 🙄

    I think the key is having a backbone, and also not having crap friends 🤷‍♂️

  • Same. For this to be a problem, you must first have other problems.

  • I was thinking this might be the case, but didn't want to do the math. Thank you.

  • That's better I suppose 🤔

  • Wait, for real?

  • cd -... Wow, I can't believe I never knew about this. I should read more man pages.

    !! Is useful too, never knew. Thanks!

  • That makes sense, I'll try the Bowline on a bite and report back! Thanks!

  • Thanks for the expert advice! I didn't realize sheet bends were so suspect, I'll have to research the knots you described.

    Hmmm, maybe I tied the butterfly wrong or am remembering it wrong. I'll have to play with it and see, it's honestly been a year or two since I've put one under load.

    And thanks for the disclaimer! Yeah I didn't mean to make it sound so easy to help someone with knots, I've never actually used a bowline for this purpose, I've just heard it explained that way for emergency use. But I agree it'd have to be an extreme emergency to risk using the wrong equipment or technique, better to just wait for proper help if it's safe to do so.

    All of my experience is just novice stuff with Paracord, etc etc. My rock climbing experience is all just indoor bouldering 😬

    Thanks again!

  • I'll add to this, know how to use good rope, learn a few knots, and you'll be surprised at how often you use them even in your daily life.

    My favorites, and thus my recommendations, are these, in order of usefulness.

    1. The Bowline. Obviously. It's one of the most versatile knots you can make. You use it to create a loop around something, and that loop will not move. It will not tighten or loosen, it can support your body weight and more. It's often used to haul people up when they've fallen into a crevice or hole, because a noose would tighten around your chest and hurt you on the way up, but a Bowline will not.

    And, if you need a noose, you can make a small looped Bowline, and pull the lead line through it to make a noose that will self tighten on whatever your putting it around.

    Best of all, the Bowline is easy to remove. You know how hard a regular square knot is to undo? Especially if you've pulled it really tight? A Bowline knot, by design, is always easier to undo, even if it's seen hundreds of pounds of load. It really is the best knot, in my opinion.

    If you can only learn one knot, make it a Bowline.

    1. Truckers hitch. I use this knot all the time. Have you ever tried to use rope to tie something down? And no matter how tight you pull the rope, by the time you're done making the knot, the rope has slipped a bit, and it's looser than you'd like? Especially annoying when trying to put up a clothes line at camp, and it's all droopy.

    Enter the truckers hitch. This knot let's you cinch the rope up super tight, and lock it in place, so it stays that way. Plus the finished knot always has a tail you can pull to easily undo it. This is useful for clotheslines, hammocks, tying stuff to your truck or bike, plenty of uses, easily my second favorite knot. Tied for first, practically.

    1. Sheet bend. Have a rope that's too short? Need to extend it a bit to get the job done? Sheet bend, double or triple sheet bend depending on the load. Easily connects two ropes together, and comes undone easy enough when you need it to, unlike if you just used two square knots.

    .

    1. Clove Hitch. Quickly and easily tie the end of a rope to a circular object like a pole or tree. Goes on easy, comes off easy.

    .

    1. Butterfly. Make a non sliding loop anywhere in the middle of a rope. Don't load the rope too hard though, this knot can be tough to undo.

    .

    1. Spike hitch, similar to butterfly, but more likely to slide, tightens like a noose on whatever you loop through it under load, but has a wide variety of uses that become more apparent the more you play with rope and knots. Fun fact, this knot is easy to learn, because it's the basis for the Bowline and truckers hitch.

    There's definitely more knots to learn, and others will have opinions on which ones are the best. But these are my favorites. Just learning the first two will be extremely helpful to you.

    Edit: wow that formatting really got away from me. I'm on mobile, so I'm leaving it, sorry
