f the child mentioned didn't give you consent to share details about them, don't.
I thought it was generally accepted that children under the age of 18yrs could not give legal "consent" to anything....?
Until the age of 18, for the most part legally, can't parents speak for and act for their children....?
What are the use cases for local AI models that actually require running on macOS? Surely a commodity x86 system is more appropriate?
Is there even the software support for LLMs on macOS?
Actually yes there is...
I'm still learning about this myself, but, from what I understand the M series of chips that Apple has come out with, with it having a CPU, GPU, and shared unified memory....it makes them uniquely capable of running local models on them...decently large models depending on how much you fork over for RAM. These M chips also have a special end unit for "intelligence processing" I think they call it.
The M5 chips just coming out look to be very good at this and it is speculated the M5 Ultra will be a high performance work horse.
Apple may have missed the mark for running AI, but the appear to have hit a home run on the hardware aspect of it.
I've seen demos on YouTube of someone hooking up like 4-5 Mac Studios that were maxed out M3 ultras I think and they were running extremely LARGE LLMs locally and getting cloud level numbers on them.
Of course these were like $10K each boxes.....but the level of model they were running would have cost my MANY more times trying to match them with NVIDIA GPU cards.....
i believe there are OSX friendly tools like ollama that make downloading, and running LLMs quite easy....and of course there's the latest sensation...OpenClaw, that folks are buying up Mac Minis for....to have multiple agents running using models of your. Choice (commercial clound or local) of models and giving them persistent memory, and ability to do a lot of things for you...depending on how comfortable you are with giving said agents long leashes and capabilities....
Do look a bit on YouTube on these topics....it's actually quite interesting.
These M chips are already giving the home user the capability to use models almost as large and on the cutting edge as the big companies.....more than enough for most users.
Right now, there's nothing x86 that can really match them...at least not for the money.
They gave the Chinese government access to Chinese user's data years ago. They don't seem to have an issue with governments gaining warrantless access to their systems.
Chinese law doesn't require a warrant for such access and it may be done in secrecy (i.e. without informing the user) if necessary to perform duties. The problem with Apple in China isn't that they aren't following the law, it's that they are and the law is openly fascist.
Look for a gaming monitor with no WiFi option
Do they make these in 65" or larger?
If not, that's not really useful....no one wants to have everyone in the family and/or guests huddled around a 25" monitor in the corner of the living room you know....
Check his posting history and it's very clear that he is not.
If he is not a trollbot, he is so frothy as to be indistinguishable from one. Every comment is the same.
Mobile Firefox has become nearly unusable. It crashes on me at least once per day now. The memory leaks are worse than ever.
Dice isn't relevant here, it's B1zX
"The tool won't be used for evaluation purposes, but is designed to provide a better estimate of employee workloads."
Yeah, specific employees.
Anyway, this is a good point, people can only stare at a screen for so long, unless they're playing video games. Obviously they need to gamify trading. I mean, more than they already have
Seems to be evidence that your joke is too true to be funny.
That is exactly the space I am always trying to inhabit. Sometimes I even get there.
Or how about a higher tax rate if the profits are based on proven lies?
Taxing bad behavior is just another variation of the evil bit, or vice versa I suppose.
I really don't understand why the only two women candidates that Democrats have run have at least appeared to be at the authoritarian end of their party.
There are two main problems with Democrats. First problem, they are not actually left enough. They are solidly in the pockets of big business, they always vote to increase funding to the MIC, etc etc. They are mostly just as addicted to money as Republicans. (On average it costs more to bribe them, which is mildly interesting although it doesn't change anything for us - it's been studied and it costs more in "donations" to get them to vote like shitheels, but they still do it.) Second problem, which is related to that problem: they think they can court the right wing. Well, they fucking can not. They shift right to try to get votes and it doesn't work. They keep going conservative and losing, and they do it with such gusto that it's difficult to believe it's not on purpose.
Harris failed to condemn genocide for both of these reasons, and that is a huge reason why younger voters stayed home. I don't disagree with anything you said, but I still believe that's a huge factor here.
You don't get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith and, as you're obviously not Catholic,
Correct, I am not a simp for the world's longest running child rape conspiracy.
you certainly don't get a fucking say in it.
I don't need to have one. You actually do get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith, and you know who decided that? The church. In between raping children and relocating child molesters to other locations so they can rape more children, the priests and bishops and popes took some time out to say it's OK as long as you keep trying to come in and give them money and children.
t depends on if they send you a tax notice or not. There was an outfit in Ohio that I used to purchase a lot of electronics from. One year I got a note from them listing my purchases, and that I would have to pay taxes on. That was a pain in the ass.
I think they got "caught", or had new accountants or something. But yes - if you can avoid the sales tax, it's a significant discount.
Interesting, I've never received any such notices....but most of my stuff is one off buys...not repeated purchases from a single site...
so I have to say in some way a black president would be held to a higher standard?
Absolutely. For one thing, it will not be tolerated if they wear a tan suit.
I don't care what their race or sex is. I'm concerned about their age, religion, and views on war crimes and slavery.
We know Obama did war crimes because he told us about them. That's how brazen the servants of the MIC have become. (inb4 I get accused of racism this time: We know Trump does more drone strikes without due process than Obama did, because until Trump rescinded Obama's EO on reporting of such strikes, he was doing four times as many of them.)
I find a lot of sellers out there that still do not charge sales tax and some times...that makes it cheaper than Amazon...
I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
