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.

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

I've been having a blast playing around with AI these past few months. I mostly use it to write NSFW fiction, but also for programming and web development stuff. It's made my transition over to Linux a lot easier, having a place to ask all my dumb questions.

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.)

Have you tried the guide on AMD's site? It looks like it's for Windows, and I don't know what you're running. Plus, I use Ollama, so I probably can't be of much help.

For programing, my favorite is Dolphin-Mixtral, but I've had good results with Dolphin-Mistral and Llama2.

Next time a teacher gets caught boinking a student, it won't end with the walk of shame in handcuffs, but a hostage standoff.

I've always wondered if other countries get sold a "Dream" like here in America. Is there a "Dutch Dream", a "Swiss Dream" or even a "French Dream"?. I'd imagine an average day in Holland beats the American Dream most days of the week.

That's not hard to believe. My parents (Silent Gen actually) passed away with their house paid off, but left about $60k of nursing home and medical debt. So, in order to close the estate, we had 3 choices: pay off the debt and keep the house, sell the house to pay off the debt, get a mortgage to pay the debt and keep the house.

We kept the house, but if they'd had like 150k or more in debt, forget it.

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.
