This sounds delightful and wholesome. :D I think it's easy to lose sight of these pockets of mundane goodness, and I appreciate you highlighting them.

Read more →Yeah, but it can be a bit of a tight squeeze if you don't have at least 24gb (preferably 32gb+) of memory. Especially if you want other apps to run at the same time, I think it's safer to stick with something more like 9b. You can see a table with quantized sizes here [0] --…

Read more →I agree with you. It might not be "swatting" in the crank call sense, but it definitely feels like malicious lying (on the part of someone) to harass or cause injury through police action. So yeah, definitely feels like swatting to me too.

Read more →The verification problem is real. A 5-minute training run produces an objective valbpb score that anyone can reproduce from the published source code. And this is actually valuable work, unlike most proof of work chain workloads. Yes, thank you for the validation! That was the…

Read more →I never played it, but from what I've heard, it sounds like the original Star Wars: Galaxies MMO (before they added all the NGE stuff?) had fairly mundane / commoner roles as well. It sounds like a fan-driven reboot of this game has a fairly decent following, in a very similar…
