Hold the phone.

He really drives an IH Scout?

I freaking adore classic japanese 4-wheelers like that, especially the smaller ones. They’re so much cooler than a bronco or defender, but the Scout and the Mitsubishi Pajero Evo are two of my dream cars.

I didn’t think my opinion of him could be any higher, but I was proven wrong.

Why would people want to be on Twitter for posts like this?

It’s like joining a real life club where the more of a jerk you are, the more speaking time you get.

“You know this war we’re slow-walking? That we keep almost negotiating a ceasefire to? Yeah, let’s keep sabotaging that, and start another war, just in case.”

I also kinda sympathize with American allies looking on from the outside now, as the U.S. is going to no doubt unconditionally support this, because… yeah.

There used to be tons of outlets like that. Techreport was stellar with methedology and transparency, I even wrote some articles as a side thing for HardOCP, and the owner of that site was very blunt.

A big point is that all written tech news has been going downhill for ages. Anandtech just closed, in case y’all missed it.

They simply can’t keep up with SEO blogspam, social media and ad enshittification.

Gamers Nexus is this weird intersection of old and new, like an old school hardware outlet that grew up on YouTube. They’re lucky in that respect, not many outlets are so fortunate.

I’m really shocked at how many people (apparently) shell out for onlyfans, subscriptions and such.

I swear, I’m the only sane one, not the only insane one.

How to turn your country into North Korea, 101.

Good! Try the IQM, XS, and XSS quantizations as well, especially if you try a 14B, as they “squeeze” the model into less space better than the Q3_K quantizations.

Yeah I’m liking the 32B as well. If you are looking for speed just for ultilitarian Q/A, you might want to keep a Deepseek Lite V2 Code GGUF on hand, as it’s uber fast partially offloaded.

I like how much it obsesses over your post’s engagement metrics. I feel like that creates toxic incentive’s, but… shrug. What do I know?

Same issue here.

I think it’s just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren’t on here… but that UI.

A Qwen 2.5 14B IQ3_M should completely fit in your VRAM, with longish context, with acceptable quality.

An IQ4_XS will just barely overflow but should still be fast at short context.

And while I have not tried it yet, the 14B is allegedly smart.

Also, what I do on my PC is hook up my monitor to the iGPU so the GPU’s VRAM is completely empty, lol.

Oh, and you HAVE to try the new Qwen 2.5 14B.

The whole lineup is freaking sick, 34B it outscoring llama 3.1 70B in a lot of benchmarks, and in personal use it feels super smart.

You can try a smaller IQ3 imatrix quantization to speed it up, but 22B is indeed tight for 8GB.

If someone comes out with an AQLM for it, it might completely fit in VRAM, but I’m not sure it would even work for a Pascal card TBH.

I hate turn based combat too, but it was super enjoyable in coop. And it’s quite good for being turn based.

It’s also real-time outside of combat, FYI.

For solo, I’d probably get the mod that automates your companions, and reduce the difficulty to your taste to compensate.

It should be the first, no question.

I’m sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not “right wing.” The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

They’re right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America’s political compass. And I’m speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

Especially if you’re mega rich.

“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” he said in a follow-up post early Monday. “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text."

I knew people like this in real life, who’d say something horrible and follow it up with “It’s just a joke,” but only if they ‘lose’ and are called out on it.

They’re slimey jerks, and it’s utterly miserable to even be around them. And I don’t understand why so many would worship/follow Elon and dwell on Twitter for it.
