PowerToys should let you rebind ctrl to spacebar. :-) I have my right ctrl and alt keys remapped to page up/down, because I hate the fact that on my Dell laptop page up/down require holding fn. I use page up/down all the time, and almost never use right ctrl/alt.

If you accidentally changed something, it has to be :q! but admittedly :q reminds you of the need for the exclamation mark.

That is sorta the fun of this. All those horse power is need where the model is being run. You can compose the scripts and the prompts on your VIC-20 plugged into some old crt.

I was responding to a comment that did NOT invoke 'that pedo shit?'

So you don't even read these?

Yes, they should spawn a RISC-V chip and do it better. Really. ARM is looking over its shoulder for a reason.

But I'm impressed you refused to unleash the TDS and spew. Good on you.

I got involved in social media for politics starting in 2008. Things were "as bad as it gets" toxic in terms of 4chan cretins by 2010 and by 2012 there were obvious signs of nation state activity. Now, eighteen years after I started, I've got a precedent setting 1st Amendment case with my name on it, I live in this weird little protective program California offers, since one of my codefendants was murdered, and that case remains unsolved. If you Google "Rauhauser vs. McGibney" you'll find an endless rabbit hole excavated by clever hackers & lawyers vs. judicial corruption in Texas. I'm easily reached online if you'd like to see the affidavit from an FBI agent about McGibney being an informant. And this all flowed entirely from Twitter slap fights.

These days I've got a Twitter account again, briefly, because I want just one phone call with 420chan founder Aubrey Cottle, now that he's out of prison for the hit he did on the Texas GOP back in 2021. It's just NealR in hex, come on Kirt, gimme a ring :-)

And once that call is done I go back to the ONLY place I engage online - Reddit. I do get the occasional precocious windowlicker every now and then, but mostly it's got health related information, and a good supply of cat photos.

It might be that.

The 8-bit guy attempted something similar. I have not see the film, just the clips he presented in his video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It looks like kinda of a mess, and he says as much. He also isn't saying he is an expert in AI or in film making or in ai-film making.. I have not seen the movie talked about here either but from the sound of things it has a lot of the problems 8-bit Guy's work does that he freely acknowledges. It just seems odd to me that someone positioning themselves as a professional film maker would want to market with something like this, either not seeing the issues or shrugging them off.

It is kinda the difference between, a personal project where, you know I saw that in the furniture store and thought - I could probably do that. Later you invite some friends over for dinner and say "see I built this entire dining set, its got some jointing issues here and there and the finish has a few flaws if you look legs and places I start projecting my technique but I think I did alright considering the materials I had access to and carpentry not being my day job.." and accepting contracts to build fine pieces and showing up with work that is less than standard industrial quality, in this case I'd compare the movie to the level of polish that goes into a sitcom episode or something..

you might be right. As they say though if you are explaining your are losing.

I hope you are right about Rubio and he can go on to have a political career. I don't know about Vance.

The problem Rubio has is that he is Sec State, that nominally is one of the most influential positions in any administration (possibly not this one -\_0_/- ). Just like in 16 HRC was not able to run away from Obama'a foreign policy failings I am uncertain Rubio will be able to say "wasn't me" when it comes to Iran / Ukraine strategy and make the swing voters believe it.

I think you misunderstood my comment.

My assertion is the GOP ( and by extension primary voters) have made poor choices in Paxton, Ramaswamy, and really in the last presidential primary Donald Trump. Politically Trumps broad policy positions are not wildly out of alignment with a majority of the American public....but some like Rubio (whom you seem to favor) could easily have won the '24 election too all things being equal. I would argue he would have likely over performed Trump, in the general election.

I am not in Texas I don't known all the details but I am fairly certain a lot that 12 point spread isn't people who really strongly support Talarico so much as it is people who think Paxton is a crook; and don't want him further hurting the country or the party. Had the Texas GOP thrown it weight behind someone The Bush family would not have such an easy time kneecapping even if they equally disliked him Texas might still have two GOP senators in the next session.

I got no problem with Rubio if he is the next GOP nominee. However... even though I think he'd be a fine president for a lot of people his association with the Trump administration is now a taint. If I got to sit in the cigar smoke filled back room and play king maker, I'd favor running a governor or recent governor with both real conservative bonifieds, and decent approval rates in their final term of office. Sara Sanders (her past association with Trump admin is sufficiently distant and nobody can hang policy positions around the press secretary), Ron DeSantis, perhap Glen Younkin...

All better choices than Vance now; and safer alternatives to Rubio.. who even if he succeeds in distancing himself on Iran policy etc; will be seen as having been spineless or at least painted that way by the opposition.

Will it though? Ken Paxton and Ramaswamy are the most obvious examples, but there were at least several others. The GOP has a habit lately of selecting the candidates with the most possible baggage for some reason. The story of this election isn't that people like Democrats. It is that enough self-inflicted wounds senseless backing candidates that can only win under ideal voter turnout scenarios vs candidates some might cross a partly line for will sink you.

Ohio really is pretty red usually, as is Texas, and even with demographic changes I don't think the issue was really that a centerist RINO candidate was need, but candidates that could keep their foot out of their mouth and did not have history of obvious corruption and narrow legal escapes over the immediate past years were.

The other thing is the Trump admin has really f**ed up with Iran.. They should hit those desal plants and the oil terminals four months ago. It would have broken the regime, people would have shouted 'war crimes' or whatever but it would have been out of the news by now. Iran would be like Syria forgotten but for a few NGOs trying to deliver foods stuffs and drinking water to camps. Fuel prices even without Iran's production on the world market but safe-ish passage enabled would be a lot lower. The GOP could have campaigned on having truly ended and evil regime after 50 years. The other likely as politically useful choice would have been to have not done it at all and worked to liken the defense of Israel to that of Ukraine in the public's mind..

Fundamentally Trump has the right ideas, but his execution and the people he leverages to execute are a clown show, the same was true of course for the Biden administration. The lesson though is public service attracts the least capable but most power hungry among us. Best we can hope for is that Trump really does destroy as much of the administrative infrastructure as possible on his way out so the next guys whatever party they belong to can't use it!

"VERY few builders, even of new houses, use the best materials and processes"

We'll, at least you trust that minimizing cost isn't just a flipper phenomenon. Same thing in corporate management. Worldwide.

Let me continue. If the market supports it, you can take a high-value home, do good work in it with quality and care, and sell it for a profit. If the market doesn't support it, you don't actually buy the house to start with. You let somebody else get suckered into trying to do it cheap. Yes, lowball flippers exist, but they're not the only part of the market.

Having been in the house-flipping business, I can tell you your observations are not always true. If the

If you think the PE is intended to strip SUSE clean, pick the bones, and leave it a memory, cling to that. But I suspect that's not the motivation. Likewise, these layoffs can serve more than one purpose.

I doubt you understand 'private equity'. You have seen examples of how it can operate, that is obvious. Other examples include successfully infesting, managing, and improving businesses that were in trouble.

If you do not know of any, you've just not read the reporting. Reading only one side of the argument is beneath a 7-digit.
