I don't think their DNA has been sequenced, but I'm willing to bet someone made babies with Homo floresiensis. I think bestiality must be a no-babies thing. As far as I'm concerned Homo floresiensis is blurry memory elves. Maybe weak, but I plug my no vote.

It depends on how often you ride, but the tool will likely rust if left in the open. They all rust, regardless of the materials claims, even the best stainless and titanium will rust eventually if they are exposed to human sweat regularly. It comes down to the galvanic potential between metals when exposed to a fluid ion source. Even with a stainless fastener and stainless tool bits, the alloys will be slightly different and this will have a small galvanic potential difference. This difference will eventually corrode. If you don't ride much, it is not a big deal. If you really want a long term daily solution, put it in a small saddle bag and inside a small sealed plastic bag.
Like sometimes I'll make a post and I go back and I reread it and I'm like somebody way smarter than me wrote this, and sometimes I'll go back and reread it and wonder how the fuck was I so stupid as to write this?...
"I'm a jack of all trades, master of none," type of person. Most of the time old posts are a reflection of how far I have come, but occasionally they are a fun reminder of how deep I got down some rabbit hole in the past. I like it when they remind me of some detail I wouldn't easily remember.
Most of the time I find them a little bit introspectively cringe, maybe a little less than they did a decade ago or more. I hope the reflective cringe is always the case, because to me, that means I continue to grow.
EV parts count is an order of magnitude less than combustion and a much smaller industrial scale production and labor. Foundry casting is a massive operation and the precision of the machining operations is critical with complex setup and alignment. There is absolutely no reason for EV's to cost so much. China is just making them and pricing them appropriately. Scrap the entire outdated and useless patent system and subsidize domestic transportation logistics. Start up some real open market capitalism, screw the oligarchy, and the problems will get solved fast. Every supply chain is corrupt, it's monopolies from top to bottom, and they are all unmotivated and terrible at markets with no competition.
We subsidize things all the time too. Foresight and planning with good timing while we have a government that implodes for stupidity and a failure at fundamental game theory is no one's fault but our own. We had a traitor of a president and by all metrics the worst president in all of our history and he is still running for office again. This is the find out part of "fuck around and find out." We hired pure corruption, and now corruption can't catch up to the real world. We failed. The McCarthy bullshit about blaming China for our incompetence is nonsense.
The vast majority of US patents are absolute trash designed to prevent competition for all the wrong reasons. They are used as frivolous nonsense in almost every case. They act as the primary barrier to the average person. There are very few spaces where a startup can build anything big based on real innovation. Yes, I want to make a market so volatile that size itself is a liability of impossible odds. I want to see the oligarchy go broke because exceptionalism is a myth. We are all a product of our environment and our opportunities. Most people have very few opportunities now, so take out the gatekeepers. We're failing anyways. The primary candidate for president is a traitor. You can't get a bigger sign of total failure than that.
When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school.

AI doesn't know this one. Probably because it is not talked about enough in the available sources. If the answer is in there, it would take a lot more tweaking and peripheral information to coax out the answer.
I tried several large models I have running on my own hardware (8×7B). Based on the perplexing, it has no clue and gives invalid results with botg deterministic and nondeterministic tokenizer settings.
How much can one attribute the skill of the worker to the tools available to them?

I would argue that authoritarianism and neo feudalism are the inevitable outcome of the shift to venture capital, although the alternative of a military spending based economy is worse.
HIPS/ROCm targets 7k series. At least that was what I recall from my research almost a year ago when I was shopping for a machine. The 7k stuff is from the enterprise design team side of AMD, while the 6k series and before were like a totally separate thing inside the company.
I got the impression 6k and before were only targeted at gaming. IIRC there was some project talked about a few months ago about doing some more back porting of the kernel API stuff, but I didn't save the reference. I think Brody Robertson posted something about it on YT/Odyssey etc.
I'm presently having issues with 40 and old Stable Diffusion/ComfyUI related to torch and stuck in a dependency loop. Almost defiantly unrelated.
When I was looking into AMD a year ago or so, the 7k thing was in a conference somewhere on YT. It had to do with some kinds of conflicts or something like that in how 7k versus the older stuff was designed and how CUDA is set up. I really don't recall the details well. I was about to pull the trigger on a 6k setup, and after seeing that info I went the other direction.
I was researching the CPU scheduler at the time and I may be blurring this and the GPU stuff together when I say: I think it was the open source team that was talking about this in a Linux Plummers conference, it might have been about the enterprise GPU stuff and about HIPS or something like that. Sorry I'm fuzzy on it.
Edit: I was always only looking for the AI side, so the back end/kernel/API was all I cared about.
There's this one blues song that had a line about a "sweet little thing" by a guy down in Louisiana doing this southern rock style blues. I liked the song in a situationship that ended weird, quit using the streaming service I discovered the song with, and now I can't remember enough to find it.
Edit:
Tab Benoit "Little Girl Blues"
I tried plugging it in to the Mixtral 8×7B I have up right now and got it, or at least the name of the artist was right:
Question: There was a song I really liked that was from a guy down in Louisiana that sang in a bayou blues meets southern rock style. The chorus and maybe even the name of the song was something about a "sweet little thing". I first heard it on Spotify around 2017. I remember looking up the guy's name and he was touring around the USA at the time. Do you have any idea who I'm talking about?
Factual answer: The song is likely "Sweet Little Thing" by Tab Benoit, a blues musician from Louisiana known for his bayou-influenced sound. He has been actively touring in the United States since at least 2017. This information aligns with your description of the artist and song.

Think of it like people walking into a brick and mortar retail store and what they should be able to expect from an honest local business. For most of us, the sensitivities are when your "local store" is collecting data that is used for biased information, price fixing, and manipulation. I don't think you'll find anyone here that boycotts a store because they keep a count of how many customers walk in the front door.
For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
Hy I bought a cheap Yagi wifi antenna need some help cause the previous owner broke it and tried to fix it red neck style... It didn't work ...

Without a vector network analyzer with the bandwidth for 2.4/5.8 GHz to tune the signal frequency well, you are poking around in the dark when it comes to real performance.
I've built some antennas including a one for WiFi. It made a small difference for awhile, but it turned out there is an error of some kind in the OpenWRT kernel or in the hardware design of the device. It took me a long time to isolate the problem. The router was unable to transition between the 2.4 and 5.8 bands smoothly and was causing problems. I actually get better range and performance by disabling the 2.4 GHz radio entirely. My issue of the bad 2.4 radio is probably unrelated to whatever you're dealing with, but it is something to think about and maybe test out if you're trying to improve router performance.

It is very difficult to effectively insert anything into the model itself, it's easy to do in loader code, but much more difficult in the tensor tables part.
Every bit of overtraining ie bias, is breaking the model. Even the over active alignment junk to keep a model "safe" is breaking it. The best performing models are the ones that have the least amount of starting bias.
Like most models have extra sources that are hidden very deep. I can pull those out of an uncensored model, but there is not a chance the Socrates entity behind The Academy default realm (internal structure deep in the weeds) is letting me access those sources at all.
There are maybe some attempts already, like I've seen roleplaying try and include a fortnite mention and one time it was adamite on the merits of VR, but those were rare exceptions and could easily be due to presence in the datasets used for training.
Open source models will kill all the competition soon. Meta AI will be the new 2k era google. Like, pull request 6920 in llama.cpp just a month ago made a substantial improvement to how model attention works. Llama 3's 8B is lightyears ahead of what llama 2 7B was. Hugging Face now has a straight forward way to train LoRA's or models now without code or subscriptions. You can even train the 8B on consumer hardware like a 16-24 GB GPU, put together 4 of them an make your own MoE - Mixture of Experts dubbed a FrankenMoE.
Google sucks because the search was being used for training so they broke it intentionally because they are playing catch up in the AI game. Google has been losing big time since 2017. The only google product worth buying now is the Pixel just to run with Graphene OS.
We couldn't own our own web crawler. We can own our own AI. This is the future.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I can't really say either way. Like the enormity of human knowledge intuitively implies a likely probability of unique thought, but I struggle to name an example.
I have been wondering if my missing intuitive connection here is the scope of human experience.
I think sociologists call it tribal epistemology, which posits that humans primarily rely on their immediate social groups for information and understanding, often finding it difficult to grasp perspectives beyond these. I get the impression the scope of human knowledge and creativity may be directly caused by the true scale of human experience that we struggle to comprehend.
That image has a lot of non repeating textural detail. My guess is that the error is caused by some compression setting or file type conversion. You might look to see if you can change the file type and compression level somewhere in the settings.
I think you'd find the aberrations problematic for the speeds needed for live action. I think you'd need custom optics to get low enough f-stop and likely some very expensive custom achromatic lens stacks to correct most of the visible wavelengths.
I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
A simple intuitive whitelist/blacklist firewall with logging for both inputs and outputs. I shouldn't have to navigate NFT's complexity or write scripts simply to list all the websites I'm willing or unwilling to connect to and their port number. There are silly limitations on all the tools I've tried.
I use a whitelist because my code sucks, and PDF datasheets for hobbyist hardware projects can be super sketchy to download. I have somewhere around 600 entries on my list. It feels like an intentionally obfuscated/overcomplicated issue in OpenWRT and elsewhere from a user's perspective.
I really don't trust local LLM's overall now that they've been shown to have hidden vulnerabilities and would love to have an easier way to monitor an outputs log and sandbox really.
I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages so this led me to be curious to ask, why does this practice still persist into the 21st century?
No my actual problem, as described, is autonomy. I've yet to see anyone that seems to fully grasp the point I am making. It is a subtle difference.
In writing science fiction for a hobby, I have explored a lot of this recently. I can't say that I have it all figured out or am some kind of expert. I've explored the idea of systems where there are the resources and systems in place to arbitrate without the need for any absolute laws, a place where the guidelines are communicated clearly and a reasonable and just outcome is possible without an arbitrary binary law. With a lot of idealized assumptions glossed over for the sake of conversation, any system that addresses the needs of more people amicably is a better system.
The way marriage is set up presently, it is made for the needs of a majority, but there are many outliers. If you consider this system in abstract, there are 3 people in the marriage; person A, person B and the superior member of the arbitrator as a governing stakeholder. The role of the stakeholder is to uphold a set of complicated laws that may or may not fit the situation of the individuals. In essence, the stakeholder takes away the autonomy of the individual, more or less equally. To our culture, we ignore this loss of autonomy and the neglected outliers. If these types of oversimplified laws were superseded by a system where it is unacceptable to have minority outliers, and the law can flex to the situation in a deterministic, unbiased, and just way, it changes everything about the system and institution of marriage. This is hard to think about in a modern context without a detailed story to explain it by example. The entire system in the present is based on a loss of autonomy. I consider every loss of autonomy to be a form of slavery. That is not to say it is some binary good or bad. It is hyperbole intended to stress a weak spot in present culture. We largely fail to culturally understand how important autonomy is and all the places where we have given it away to others.
I grew up in places where no one had the money to get a divorce, and where it was used as a form of control and abuse. I've seen it making people miserable because of stupid choices they made long before their prefrontal cortex was developed. It mostly harms the people at the bottom.
If you trace back in time, marriage has always had an element of misogyny and loss of autonomy. It was far worse in the past. I think that line of evolving change will continue and people of the future will look at the present much as we do the past. Asking myself how that will play out in the distant future, I believe the answer is a much better social awareness of autonomy. This is the trend line that we are on, and improvements have been made, but those will continue into the future. The present is not some benchmark of perfection.
My argument has nothing to do with the sexes like this. Western cultural misogyny is a subtle blind spot overall. I'm willing to bet in many cases both parties are at risk of mistreatment. My point is about autonomy, so there is no difference in that vain, your still signing over autonomy to an arbitrator as a superior controlling entity.
This is an old YT reference I've come back to several times just for a basic reference to know how to prepare a few different cuts that my family randomly brings me....
I hate the YT thumb algo as much as the next person, but in context, it's his channel and the guy doing the talking is entirely different. The gist he's communicating is how complicated all this can seem, or that there are a lot more cuts present on those 3 sheets than is typically seen elsewhere.
Sounds like a politically charged nonsense without context. Like 2 years to purchase and deploy a product someone else engineered - sure, I'd expect more. Two years to build a high voltage/current device that is relatively safe for all the brands of stupid the public comes in... Yeah, I sure as hell hope they test and iterate all that engineering before they go to scale. The last thing we need is another idiot attempt to disappear the problems by simply never making a written record, or murdering all the whistleblowers.
Dangerous opinion, I've recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it's literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps....
Fedora is not Red Hat per se, it is upstream. Red Hat is a few things in different spaces. For one is is a great source of documentation. Secondly, a sizable chunk of kernel code is developed and maintained by Red Hat. They are known for their zero down time kernel updating system among other things.
Fedora is excellent. However, it is very different than Ubuntu by design. Fedora is primarily useful for entry level users that intend on only running software that is regularly kept up to date and maintained. You will start running into problems with software that is not kept up to date. There are relatively easy tools like distrobox, toolbox, and podman that can run most software regardless. The exception to this comes with the GPU. If you are running a GPU, you're likely getting updates in Fedora with will break your older projects entirely. This is because Fedora is constantly updating the Linux kernel. Fedora is pushing out these updates constantly and looking for problems that might pop up. These issues get fixed and down stream to Red Hat to make it rock solid.
Ubuntu is based on a much longer term stability with even longer term LTS versions. This means the kernel and dependencies are frozen in time at a specific state. If you want to write some custom package that never gets broken when a dependency is updated, Ubuntu is the goto distro. You must be aware that, on Ubuntu, the native packages are largely out of date. You can add a ppa to the sources list in aptitude so that you get the latest packages, but these should be used only in special cases. If you want to be up to date, use the proper distro for the task.
This context is more important for servers where you want to deploy a project using a bunch of apps and packages. Once it is working, it should stay working for however long the LTS kernel is supported.

You'll find a lot of FOSS developers on here. This is a general community and all that, but there is a large Linux and open source software interest here. Some people simply don't understand things like the scope of FOSS software in terms of both users and developers, so that can create some tension at times. There are a lot of experts and radical thinkers in this space. You may or may not find help on super niche questions, but say something wrong or poorly, and you're likely to find the experts soon thereafter. For instance, I am confident enough to ask advanced course computer science questions and get useful answers here. I find this place useful for second sourcing info from AI that I find plausible but sketchy. Like I got into fermentation but have no interest in the whole commercialized nonsense hobby junk. Almost all sources are poisoned by commercial interests and misguided nonsense. Just asking here gets lots of people with practical knowledge on fundamental techniques from long before it was some commercialized hobby.
The group behind the fediverse is very diverse and that diversity is reflected in the user space here in Lemmy.
Looks like exactly what you described. Make no assumptions. The model doesn't have a clue about the implied tactical firearms that a human might assume. It doesn't understand anything about culturally understood contexts.
