Oh I may have been interested in helping them before, but since they’re sooo edgy I’m sure they can fuck themselves. I mean, fuck themselves. Help themselves. There it is. Also fuck them. :)

This sounds like an excellent sign for MH wilds on PC

I do have a 64gb m1 MacBook Pro and man that thing screams at doing LLM AI. I use it to serve models locally throughout my house, while it otherwise still works as a fantastic computer (usually using about half the ram for llm usage). I still prefer a 4080 for image generation though.

…buffalo?

it used to give a lecture about the differences between alarms and timers and then also set no timer or alarm.

The technology exists, but you can’t share content like that because of “DRM”

hang on everybody, call off the engineers, someone on the internet has thought about this for 2 minutes. good boy.

There was no point at which the south would have gone “Golly you know, we seem to be farming a whole lot less and industrializing a whole lore more, I guess we should abolish slavery because of that economic change.”

We are talking about different things. Whether the south would have contorted the normal business model to continue to house people in perpetual slavery is a matter of historical speculation. What I’m saying is that the legal framework that allowed people to be free (as opposed to the plantation farming system) required war, or there would have just been the same level of oppression but tied to a machine.

You wrote a long comment and I don’t mean to be flippant but I disagree with the premise that industrialization would have somehow starved out slavery. The industrial revolution saw children working in factories, they would have found a way to exploit “free” labor in factories. Every generation thought that technological change would end work as they knew it.

not you, the person you were commenting about.

“I do my own research” is a short walk away from “I trust only my own sources”

the real hero is in the comments, 25 years later…

This is the kind of thing Chief Wiggum would proudly hold a press conference about while the thieves are carting away city hall in the background.

If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.

So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?

Now they don’t say hurricane anymore unless it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. Hope you guys are enjoying the Big Storm.

The type of place where people describe themselves as spiritual but not religious.

They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.

Yeah taken as a guideline and observation that computer speeds/storage/etc continue to improve, I think it’s fair. It may not always be double, but it is still significantly different than other physical processes which have “stagnated” by a similar metric (like top speed on an average vehicle or miles per gallon).

Yet another who could have just shut the fuck up. Alas.
