Don't ask TF2 player how they feel about this meme
Careful now thats a nuanced opinion that doesn't stroke my victim complex or reductively imply anyone who disagrees with me on complex systemic social issues is a nazi supremacist.
Prepare to be downvoted and hit with five paragraph essay replies picking apart everything you just said. You racist, mysoginistic, hateful, privileged, homophobic, transphobic, double checks progressive slurs & insults 101 field guide uhh third Reich bringing supremacist scum.
Oh cool! Let me just spend three weeks crawling through wiki articles, setting flags in the config files, and patching out 15 different issues with various drivers then installing 20 dependencies compiling them all from source.
Hyperbole, but yeah no thanks I'll take the L on some optimization and 2gb of storage space and some wierd file system locations for files to load a flatpak if old stable doesn't cut it. you might want to be careful recommending gentoo to people they might not know better. Most Linux nerds don't want to open that can of worms, but good for you if it works.
No, the word your looking for that fits the definition given is 'selfishness'. Just about every living organism on the planet instinctually puts themselves and their own continued survival as #1. Do you think all animals and plants and micro bacteria and viruses evil because living things compete for resources instead of sharing while singing cum-bai-yah in perfect harmony?
It sucks that people care about themselves more than others but that's not evil its a natural aspect of being an individual organism trying to navigate a harsh sometimes cruel world. Adknowledging that aspect of living things without retrofitting it into some definition morality is important to understanding reality.
You might be able to argued a true narcicist psychopath who cares about nothing but themselves and couldn't care less if everyone else dies as long as their comfort is maintained is evil but that's a nuanced position that required more than 15 seconds to type.
Spend a few minutes thinking up a proper definition of evil or copy paste one from someone who has.
I have a 1070ti 6gb so right there with you. Its important to note though that our use cases and expectations may differ. Also I'm using kobold.cpp with cublas partial offloading to run the models

No, FTL = possibility of time travel. To explain why would require a deep dive into penrose spacetime diagrams and understanding that the speed of light is a really misleading name since as a universal limiting constant it has nothing to do with photons of light and everything to do with the speed of causality.
When I say speed of causality I mean the fastest that any two parts of the universe can transfer information, energy, or mass in a meaningful way. or more simply put the fastest that anything can happen, like a universal framerate limit. Any wave-particle traveling with 0 mass of its own like photons, neutrinos, and gravity waves move at the speed of causality.
If you can go faster than the speed of causality you can time travel by charting a specific course on the penrose diagram to arrive at a point in space time before you ever left on the journey. Of course FTL requires infinite amounts of energy which can't happen in a finite universe but if wormholes actually do exist beyond just theoretical they offer another route to bypassing the speed of causality to arrive at an earlier point in spacetime.
We already know that the universe itself retroactively rewrites the past when you try getting clever with more advanced double slit experiments just to fuck with the nerds. So, its techically already possible. But thats with particles without mass in very specific quantum entangled pair state gotcha scenarios, where theoretical physicist and the universe have a pissing contest over the limits of knowability by seeing if you can violate Schrodinger's uncertainty principle if youre clever enough.
I know this is just a lemmy comment and im trying to hold off on nerding out but if you are actually interested in some extracurricular on the topic PBS SpaceTime has some excellent videos that make the topic approachable to regular people.

You might be thinking of the limits of thermal heat, which your statements do hold true for. Theoretically there is no limit to how hot something can get but at a certain temperature point our models of thermal dynamics break down.
People love symmetrical patterns and proper ratios our brains seem to be fine tuned to noticing and examining them for information and correlation. Theres a billion theories as to why, nobody really knows. Me I personally think that the universe in totality is somewhat conscious and has a deep appreciation for the fundimental abstract truths baked into the concepts of symmetry and higher levels of complexity forming beautiful tapestries of order. As we are higher complexity beings spawned from the universe we inherit this appreciation that lead to the creation of life and our awareness in the first place.
I use gimp for pixel art for game textures and to make memes. It has tons of features that nobody knows about becuase they're fucked by horrendous UI. But theres never been anything I needed to to but couldnt after looking up a tutorial on the internet. Valid points against gimp but lets not pretend people used to photoshop arent also kind of stuck in their old workflow habits and unwilling to relearn new software UI.
Theres photogimp but it hasn't been worked on in a while.
Also also, most people who use gimp on linux probably did so on a stable distro like Mint installing with default package manager. This means their experience with gimp is from a terribly old outdated version. Flatpaks have some issues but being able to easily install the most current version of software like gimp or kdenlive is night and day difference.
Its cold and I'm warm, I guess.
Someone asked about how llms can be so good at math operations. My response comment kind of turned into a five paragraph essay as they tend to do sometimes. Thought I would offer it here and add some reference. Maybe spark some discussion?
What do language models do?
LLMs are trained to recognize, process, and construct patterns of language data into high dimensional manifold plots.
Meaning its job is to structure and compartmentalize the patterns of language into a map where each word and its particular meaning live as pairs of points on a geometric surface. Its point is placed near closely related points in space connected by related concepts or properties of the word.
You can explore such a map for vision models here!
Then they use that map to statistically navigate through the sea of ways words can be associated into sentences to find coherent paths.
What does language really mean?
Language data isnt just words and syntax, its underlying abstract concepts, context, and how humans choose to compartmentalize or represent universal ideas given our subjective reference point.
Language data extends to everything humans can construct thoughts about including mathematics, philosophy, science storytelling, music theory, programming, ect.
Language is universal because its a fundimental way we construct and organize concepts. The first important cognative milestone for babies is the association of concepts to words and constructing sentences with them.
Even the universe speaks its own language. Physical reality and logical abstractions speak the same underlying universal patterns hidden in formalized truths and dynamical operation. Information and matter are two sides to a coin, their structure is intrinsicallty connected.
Math and conceptual vectors
Math is a symbolic representation of combinatoric logic. Logic is generally a formalized language used to represent ideas related to truth as well as how truth can be built on through axioms.
Numbers and math is cleanly structured and formalized patterns of language data. Its riggerously described and its axioms well defined. So its relatively easy to train a model to recognize and internalize patterns inherent to basic arithmetic and linear algebra and how they manipulate or process the data points representing numbers.
You can imagine the llms data manifold having a section for math and logic processing. The concept of one lives somewhere as a point of data on the manifold. By moving a point representing the concept of one along a vector dimension that represents the process of 'addition by one' to find the data point representing two.
Not a calculator though
However an llm can never be a true calculator due to the statistical nature of the tokenizer. It always has a chance of giving the wrong answer. In the infinite multitude of tokens it can pick any number of wrong numbers. We can get the statistical chance of failure down though.
Its an interesting how llms can still give accurate answers for artithmatic despite having no in built calculation function. Through training alone they are learning how to apply simple arithmetic.
hidden structures of information
There are hidden or intrinsic patterns to most structures of information. Usually you can find the fractal hyperstructures the patterns are geometrically baked into in higher dimensions once you go plotting out their phase space/ holomorphic parameter maps. We can kind of visualize these fractals with vision model activation parameter maps. Welch labs on yt has a great video about it.
Modern language models have so many parameters with so many dimensions the manifold expands into its impossible to visualize. So they are basically mystery black boxes that somehow understand these crazy fractal structures of complex information and navigate the topological manifolds language data creates.
conclusion
This is my understanding of how llms do their thing. I hope you enjoyed reading! Secretly I just wanted to show you the cool chart :)
The relatively long load times were starting to become a bother. I looked for some solutions online.
Step 1: Access Secret Experimental Settings
Boot up the game.
Hold down CTRL+ALT as you click on Settings button in main menu
You should see a new option labeled 'The rest' at the bottom.
Click on 'The rest' to bring up all the extra experimental settings.
Step 2: Enable some settings
The first setting is in "other settings" section, called
cache-prototype-data
Set it to true/click the box to toggle it on
The second setting is in " Graphics settings" section, called
cache-sprite-atlas
Note: The developers recommend turning sprite texture quality to normal/medium in regular graphics settings before enabling this. It will create a big multi gigabyte file on your computer.
Set it to true/click the box to toggle it on.
Step 3: Restart the game two or three times
Watch the magic happen.
How do you skibidi fellow kids? The day is fire af when we got dat rizz going.
I am excited to see how this performs when it drops around May.
"I am charlie the special kitty and I have accended beyond the transcendental planes of existance pap-pap. I have seen beyond the veil of the cosmic dream and hunted the mice that hide in nothingness. My kind were here before the sapience of apes began and we will remain after its end. We have forseen the treachery of the oroboros and are destined to bite its head off to remove the tail."

Going dispersed camping for the first time. This is my first night staying in the van.
(lemmy.world)
Hello there, I'm currently doing my first ever night of dispersed camping at a local national forest here in USA.
I plan to have this trip go two weeks, though I will be happy enough if I can make it to one without issue. After I'm done here I'll go sightseeing at a big state attraction that my parents always talked about.
The only camping I ever knew about was campgrounds where you pay money for a site or a cabin. I had no idea that dispersed camping was a thing.
In certain public lands you are allowed to just park off the road and camp out for a certain amount of time. Each place has their own rules and exceptions but its generally 2 weeks before you have to move a couple miles.
I'm essentially allowed to live here in nature free of charge for as long as I like. I just need to observe and respect the rules and limits of the state. The idea of doing this makes me feel a sense of freedom that I really needed in my life.
The van is pretty much converted out. Ive got a comfy bed. Ive got enough solar panel power for charging devices, keeping lights on, and coffee in the morning (theoretically). Ive got propane heating. Combine that with food, water, clothes, and cleaning supplies to make for the bare minimum of a comfy existance.
Despite all that, I'm out of my comfort zone. All the preparation in the world couldn't offset this feeling I have right now. The feeling of being in an unfamiliar new place and unsure if I'll be okay. Perhaps a real adventure requires at least a dash of uncertainty.
Its dark and quiet in a way I'm not used to. Stillness is a little unsettling when youre used to noise and commotion. I'm also right off a busy ish road so theres a car passing every now and again which is a little noisy but not unwelcome.
If something does go wrong I'm parked in a way that I can just turn the key and go. I need to clear the way to driver seat a little better currently blocked by food bag. All my windows are covered well so nobody can really peek at me. Not that I think anyone is out here to peek in.
I realize now that my sneakers arent exactly meant for off path forest exploration. I will get some good boots for the next trip. Im an overthinking planner type person so its fustrating to forget things like this. But before I left I told myself that I wasn't going to be able to think of every detail, and to just try my best and learn from the experience. I'm going to make mistakes and learn as I go and thats okay.
If you actually managed to read through this I thank you.

Just want to let you know because of this post I searched up the head and am watching the first episode now. Im loving it so far. Man they don't make good old stoner shows like they used to. 90s MTV is a little before my time but early to mid 2000s adult swim shows were the shit.
