I certainly agree that appeasing Trump isn’t going to work.
A thread about death threats on these members isn’t the proper context to bring up that kind of argument.
This situation isn’t a result of them voting on the CR so that comment is, at best, bad taste and at worst a toxic attempt at sowing division.
Yeah, you do want more contextual intelligence than an 8B for this.
Oh yeah, I’m sure. I may peek at it this weekend. I’m trying to decide if Santa is going to bring me a new graphics card, so I need to see what the price:performance curve looks like.
Massive understatement!
I think I stopped actively using image generation a little bit after LoRAs and IP Adapters were invented. I was trying to edit a video (random meme gif) to change the people in the meme to have the faces of my family, but it was very hard to have consistency between frames. Since there is generated video, it seems like someone solved this problem.
I don’t know the details or the bills, but it isn’t uncommon for people in contested seats to be allowed by the party to vote in a poll-favorable way when their vote won’t change the outcome.
Simply, counting ‘Times voted with Trump’ doesn’t say much that is useful and can be misleading, especially in the context of a post about death threats to politicians.
Social media can have a very us or them mentality. If you’re not 100% lock step with the group then you’re an enemy to be scored and attacked. I read that comment as 'Yeah, they’re getting death threats but they voted with Trump so they deserved it (<insert Nazi bar comment>)".
And in any case, who is destroying them (who are the weavers)?

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into GLM Air, I haven’t looked into the current state of the art for self-hosting in a while.
I just use this model to translate natural language into JSON commands for my home automation system. I probably don’t need a reasoning model, but it doesn’t need to be super quick. A typical query uses very few tokens (like 3-4 keys in JSON).
The next project will be some kind of agent. A ‘go and Google this and summarize the results’ agent at first. I haven’t messed around much with MCP Servers or Agents (other than for coding). The image models I’m using are probably pretty dated too, they’re all variants of SDXL and I stopped messing with ComfyUI before video generation was possible locally, so I gotta grab another few hundred GB of models.
It’s a lot to keep up with.😮💨
I’m not exactly sure the point that you’re trying to make?
She’s received death threats.
…but she voted with Trump
Therefore: ???

How are they getting Linus to agree to such a thing?
Great article. It should be noted that your web browser allows websites to do this with javascript.
Also, since this tracking isn’t really trying to hide, people have compiled lists of the dns names of the destinations of these requests.
If you host a DNS server and you take that list and return NULL for everyone on the list. Then clients on your network who have ad tracking software will try to look up the destination to send your data and your DNS will tell them that there is nowhere to send the data and so the data isn’t delivered. So, all of the smart TVs, game consoles, refrigerators, toasters and doorknobs which automatically send data but you cannot configure will fail because they use DNS also.
This sounds complicated to do, but I’m just describing Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/). It only takes a few minutes to setup the container and change your router’s DHCP configuration in order to give out the address of the Pi-hole DNS server.
Assuming you’re on Linux, which you are because you’re a reader of a c/Privacy… right?
Everyone will have a next phone though.
Until Trump let Elon erase decades of soft power gains with his trashy chainsaw and then imposed unilateral tariffs on our trading partners and threatening to invade allies.
Every EU country has taken initiative to move away from the US, ignoring banking sanctions and fining American tech companies for violation of EU laws are not unlikely.
We as a country are not ready for that conversation, yet.
Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we’re using that metaphor.
They’re the machine that create profit for people who are unconcerned with the damage that they do to the population.
They’re overestimating the costs. 4x H100 and 512GB DDR4 will run the full DeepSeek-R1 model, that’s about $100k of GPU and $7k of RAM. It’s not something you’re going to have in your homelab (for a few years at least) but it’s well within the budget of a hobbyist group or moderately sized local business.
Since it’s an open weights model, people have created quantized versions of the model. The resulting models can have much less parameters and that makes their RAM requirements a lot lower.
You can run quantized versions of DeepSeek-R1 locally. I’m running deepseek-r1-0528-qwen3-8b on a machine with an NVIDIA 3080 12GB and 64GB RAM. Unless you pay for an AI service and are using their flagship models, it’s pretty indistinguishable from the full model.
If you’re coding or doing other tasks that push AI it’ll stumble more often, but for a ‘ChatGPT’ style interaction you couldn’t tell the difference between it and ChatGPT.
It’s because, historically, humanity as a whole is a bunch of subtle and devious con artists wearing different hats and masks. Naturally, anything trained on the output of such a species would adopt its traits.
Everything is poorly lit, the dialogue is inaudible, and all the other sound is way too loud.
The thing you’re noticing is that they’re mastering movies for home theater setups and then everyone else gets a bad re-encode.
When you’re watching a non-HDR 1080p version with Stereo sound using streaming services’ low quality streaming codecs you’re missing a lot more than if you had a HDR1400 4k OLED and a 7.1 Atmos setup with a Blu-ray encode of the movie.
The problem is that now there is just such a large gap between ‘smartphone on a slow connection’ and ‘$80,000 home theater’ that it’s hard to make content that pushes the latter while still being viewable on the former.
The moth was not okay.
They didn’t tell us this part when they taught it in school #RIP Bug, the OG bug who died to the OG pull request.
Yeah, manifestv3 killed anything but the most basic ad blocking.
bulletin board
I haven’t used a BBS since the 90s, dialing in to play MajorMUD and later PvP MUDs (Chaosium/Static Chaos).
I’ll check it out. I use lynx already, because I use Arch(, btw) and break literally everything including my DE.
Thanks a ton, saves me having to navigate the slopped up search results (‘AI’ as a search term is SEOd to death and back a few times)
That system has the 3080 12GB and 64GB RAM but I have another 2 slots so I could go up to 128GB. I don’t doubt that there’s a GLM quant model that’ll work.
Is ollama for hosting the models and LM Studio for chatbot work still the way to go? Doesn’t seem like there’s much to improve in that area once there’s software that does the thing.
