“Sir, they’ve given us a list of their demands, but I can’t read this … this chicken-scratch.”

“As God is my witness…”

When I was in Korea, I leaned that chickens can (sort of) fly. They can flap their wings hard enough to get from the ground to a tree branch maybe 8 feet or so off the ground, and safely back down.

And I’ve heard chickens tasted better back in the old days. A bird that eats grubs, worms, grasshoppers, frogs, snakes, etc tastes different than one that just eats chickenfeed all day.

Awesome. I’d heard that Pat was one of Redd’s old friends from the “Chitlin’ Circuit” era of comedy, but I’ve never actually seen him do standup.

Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.

Remember it? I still have mine. Got games dating back to Monster Truck Madness, all the Need for Speed games before they went batshit crazy, and about 2 years worth of PC Gamer demo discs.

I think 5 is what I’m looking for. Sometimes Civ (in general) gets out of hand with the micromanagement. I want something that’s kind of casual.

I’ve been looking to try Civ 5 or 6, but haven’t decided which one yet.

Well, it’s the midwest, so there’s that radon gas thing in the basements. 😐

I’m joking, though. Underground is best if you can find it. I grew up in Indiana.

Even after the price cut, theirs is still 3x the price of Mercedes’ system which works better. I have a feeling Tesla’s earnings report won’t go well this afternoon. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-earnings-q1-175358835.html

I wonder how many offers he’s gotten for it so far.

I know right? It’s like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it’s not worth it.

You probably don’t want it

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.

Wait, God “asks” people to do things now? What, is he getting soft?

Moses didn’t receive the 10 requests, or the 10 suggestions.

I guess “It’s not for everyone” is the real takeaway here. I’m not a phone guy in general, but I’ve been using cards since BK was still selling 99¢ Whoppers. I’m guessing both of us are ready to pay before the cashier has our order rung up.

To each their own. (I’m finally admitting that I’m fighting a losing battle on writing checks though.)

Same here. I guess I should have pointed out that I’m not really much of a phone guy to begin with. I don’t install many apps, and I stay logged out of Google. To me, losing a phone really just means losing my pictures and videos. The most expensive phone I’ve ever had was $200.

Using a phone sounds inconvenient to me. I usually just pull my card out of my wallet, wave it over the terminal until I hear a beep and that’s it. Worst case scenario, I have to insert it into the chip reader or God-forbid swipe it through the slot like some kind of Neanderthal.

I’m kidding, but seriously, that’s easier than screwing around with a phone, to me.
