"you can call people mentally ill but only if they're targets of the regime" isn't exactly in line with the principles of free speech in the first place.


Asus PG48UQ? LG also makes one with the same specs.


The only consumer demand for local AI models is for generating pornography


How about running your intelligent home with a voice assistant on your own computer? In privacy-oriented countries (Germany) that would be massive.


This is what I'm fiddling with. My 2080Ti is not quite enough to make it viable. I find the small models fail too often, so need larger Whisper and LLM models.

Like the 4060 Ti would have been a nice fit if it hadn't been for the narrow memory bus, which makes it slower than my 2080 Ti for LLM inference.

A more expensive card has the downside of not being cheap enough to justify idling in my server, and my gaming card is at times busy gaming.


absolutely wrong -- if you're not clever enough to think of any other reason to run an LLM locally then don't condemn the rest of the world to "well they're just using it for porno!"


so you're saying that a huge market?!


It's not a transparent overlay, it's a completely separate desktop with a screenshot of the user desktop as its background. Really clever.


And that the desktops are securable objects[1], so processes in the default desktop can't snoop on what's going on in the winlogon desktop say when the UAC prompt is shown.

And 50% of the times, the background fails to load and I have to double check. At first I thought it may be my specfic hardware combo but no.


> Everyone has the potential to do something horrible; the problem of evil isn't that it's present in a certain group who we can imprison, the problem is that it's present in us all.

But some people are actually more predisposed towards criminality than others. We aren't blank slates.


The extent to which criminality (or any particular human behavior) is driven by circumstance or "nature" is (and for millenia has been) a matter for considerable debate.

It's clear that both contribute, which is important because that means there are neither "ur-criminals" nor "not-criminals". While some may, by their nature, be more likely to commit a certain type of crime, none are free from the possibility of doing so under some circumstances.


The comment you replied to is talking about incapacitation, not deterrence.


Incapacitation, not deterrence? If someone is in prison, they can't reoffend.


We already have the highest incarceration rates in the developed world - I'm not sure that more people in prison is the right solution.


I think there's precedent for shipping them to Australia. It probably costs less to taxpayers, and it doesn't even harm Australians since our thieves are less dangerous than their spiders.


As someone born in the UK, who grew up in Australia, and who now lives in the US, this trope always makes me laugh...

England sent prisoners to America for nearly 70 years before sending any to Australia, mostly Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas.


*checks map*

That looks like the greater D.C. area. Coincidence?


Because outsourcing parts of our economy to Pacific countries has worked out so well in the past.


No, and prison is expensive.

1.) Corporal punishment

or

2. ) Exile to Amchitka, with some camping gear, a knife, and fishing line/hooks.


If it's important, it should go in archive.is. Sites have always been able to remove their own content from Wayback Machine.


Archive.is seems even sketchier doesn’t it? Who is paying for all that? Total mystery. I wouldn’t be surprised if it just vanished one day. I feel like the solution is some version of local personal archive + zenodo plus those others.

That archive site loses pages too. I've followed links to pages others have archived years ago and they're missing. Completely gone even when searching for the URL or fragments of it.


post it on 4chan from behind seven proxies and let full disclosure do its thing


maybe guys don't want to buy cars that make them unfuckable
