You are in deep denial. People have been shouting from the rooftops about this for generations.
For example from another story posted here today:
Frustrated by high failure rates in eighth-grade algebra, San Francisco Unified decided in 2015 to delay algebra till ninth grade and place low, average and high achievers in the same classes. The goal was to improve achievement for black and Hispanic students, preparing more for advanced math.
Corrective measures are apparently not possible when issues get politicized. I think the US simply has too much money which causes inverse incentives around problems of this nature.
There is like, zero chance, this could happen in Korea for example (I am not Korean btw least you accuse me of jingoism) -- such people would be shunned from society for fucking up like this once.
Do you reckon the 4bit quantized Vicuna just won't do here? https://huggingface.co/anon8231489123/vicuna-13b-GPTQ-4bit-1...
I think with this everything OpenAI demonstrated ~5 weeks ago has been recreated by actually-open AI. Even if it runs much much slower on prosumer hardware and with less good results at least it is de-magicked.
How many XX-chromosome neurotypical a-political undyed-hair normies are on your 7 federated instances? Please, count.
People can be miffed at me for pointing this truth out but that is how social networks grow big. Such is life.
The Rihanna/Swift/Kardashian/BlackPink people will never switch and as they will correctly inform you, they run the world. It is called social media, remember?
Social people will stay on Instagram and Twitter as that is where you get attention. AI researchers are all on Twitter too for that matter. The gravitational pull is too strong.
Edit: Hmm, I wonder who is downvoting this obvious mathematical fact of life, such a mystery!
Most of what we hear of the Fediverse is rants about twitter and a few of the same subcultures over and over again.
There used to be a site long ago, lost to the mists of time, called Big Boards, tracking the biggest forums:

10 years ago it was a thing called Gaia online with Chibi anime thingies and 2 billion messages. The more things change..
The future sure panned out different than how I imagined it would be when I was a kid staying up late watching this timeless classic.
At the time I just thought it was cool and conceptual, never realizing how much the vibes were on point.
I get it now. See You Space Cowboy.

All that goes on there is an evaporating tray of water and wet bulb temperature sensors (finicky to measure accurately). Imagine an environment similar to a dishwasher or rather, a sauna, where you play not just with the temperature but also the humidity by controlling the steam bath.
The Chinese commercial ones I am referring to use a fill valve with a float (not dissimilar to a toilet tank) to replenish the water from the evaporating tray found at the bottom of the oven. So might get away with an analog circuit.. I digress..
Instead of keeping your food in a plastic bag and recirculating the water through a heating element to keep the temperature you are just constantly boiling water and releasing steam so the entire oven cavity settles at an exact temperature AND humidity level. Hope I didn't bungle that explanation too much.
Anyway GM probably has super fancy home ovens of this nature for $10,000 a premium home gamer version of the sort of thing restaurants/fancy-hotels use. The pros simply front load food trays into them like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cfll7tUcuA

The Anova thing is basically a tiny toy version of that.
No bags, humidity control, replaces everything. Immersion circulators, therma-pens, toaster ovens, microwaves, dishwashers - it won't wash your dishes after you make the salmon in it but it will self clean. :)
Park literally anywhere not obvious, it is only one night. I am not sure how charged up you need to be to maintain a comfortable temperature. 5%? Just go and problem solve on the road. You'll be fine.
It is alarming to me (as a not American btw) that everything gets so politicized to the point that base reality cannot be agreed on. Crime in SF should not be some democrats vs republicans or philosophical outlook thing, it should just be a local issue.
Your explanation about his behavior is quite plausibly also sane and rational. I believe you believe that and see how you can think that. I just hope you can afford him the same benefit of the doubt I am affording you so you can talk it out without games, that is all I am saying.
As he had emotions.
> But don’t you think someone who hasn’t been following the news but has been following only his tweets will be left with an incorrect impression of the city and the incident?
A hypothetical somebody who is very impressionable to begin with perhaps. Nat isn't news or the source of truth. If you take the Twitter bit out of it and Nat/Bob were your neighbors these are very normal human reactions and conversations. Crime is on his mind and somebody he knew got stabbed to death.
I agree that if/when he breaches the subject again he should point out that this stabbing wasn't accidental, sure, of course. I hope he does. I sense that people who disagree with his politics/conclusions hope he doesn't. That is lame.
It is all too convenient and normalized these days to think of people you disagree with as slimy hypocrites with hidden agendas playing Machiavellian games. Heck, you know what, tweet at him, like a human, without the gotcha, and find out instead of assuming.
I can promise you this: if it turns out you are right about this then I will say that I was wrong. :)
Nat said nothing more than stabbings are bad and assumed it was a violent crime, a sane reasonable assumption given the information available.
What exactly is the problem? He genuinely believes violent crime is up and that this was some random hobo. I don't recall you or anybody else even theorizing this was a stabbing by somebody who knew Bob personally.
You think his opinion is wrong and therefore he is "biased"? And if this turned out to be what he thought you'd say what exactly in that case? Maybe you're the one who is biased.
At some point people got to stop playing this aha, gotcha games and agree on some base reality. Either violent crime is up or it is not. Some people like Nat are genuinely convinced it is based on their experience living there.
Are you referring to something I posted in this thread as unsubstantive and flamebaity?
To be clear, nothing I wrote here was written intended as such.
Edit (since I can't reply): You've met me at a very strange time in my life, what can I say, I'll keep those notes in mind.
To be clear, nothing from this particular thread?
Servo if memory serves was also experimenting with 3d layouts in VR as the wave of the future at one point. Make your own conclusions.
The really actually useful thing that came out of that effort was the CSS engine which is already incorporated into Firefox.
It does not matter to me in which direction the paper is politically slanted one iota, or what conclusions it so desperately seeks. The ends don't justify the means, sorry.
It matters very much to me that it isn't anything like science, and worse, that it masquerades. You can dance around this all you want.
