My commute is 117 miles one way :(, return to office has really fucked me. I won’t be moving anytime soon but am working on getting a job closer to home.

I agree nobody should be drafted, but that’s not reality, so everyone should be forced.

They’re getting more violent because they’re getting more views when they get violent.

The only Apple product I’ve owned was my first smartphone an iPhone 4, Never again.

Me too, although the Chinese government itself will still use this technology extensively

Closed AI sucks, but there are definitely open models from American companies like meta, you make great points though. Can’t wait for more open models and hopefully, eventually, actually open source models that include training data which neither deepseek nor meta do currently.

All your reasons were valid though. Teslas were the best electric cars for a long time, probably not so anymore. Tesla as a brand has done good things, like you say opening up their charging standard which is superior to all the other competitors.

Personally, I wouldn’t get a Tesla because they are sort of like the apple of car companies, e.g. anti-consumer and anti-repair. Plus, Musk owning it is another big negative.

That’s true and I even thought about trying to investigate one of their satellites bandwidth capabilities versus one starlink satellite before I commented. But ultimately it doesn’t really matter because we’re talking about them being a rival to starlink so In the context of this conversation, they need to match their capacity and capabilities in all aspects to be a worthy rival.

You’re correct but their LEO constellation is over 10x smaller than Starlink, so they’ve still got a lot of catching up to do.

They are doing much better than other fabled starlink competitors though, like amazon kuiper which is still not a real thing after all this time.

This 100% also most general contractors are just scam artists that will do a very shit job or make the thing worse.

You can do anything you put your mind to. I spent a significant amount of effort (~1500 hours over 11 months) completely remolding my partner and my first house, including re wiring and re plumbing with no previous experience.

If something goes wrong or you want to change something, seriously, you can do it all on your own. Spend some time researching the problem and watching videos of other people doing it. DIY everything and any issues will cost 10x less to fix.

General contractors are mostly just scammers who at best will do a shit job and rip you off, and at worse will actually make the situation worse and still scam you.

Yes, here’s the link to the uncensored clip, NSFW obviously, but you’ll need to put in an email to turn off NSFW filtering. https://civitai.com/images/60144368

The censored images in the thumbnail were all pulled from uploaded videos from this Lora on Civati called "Better Titfuck (WAN and HunYuan)"

Deepseek can’t take down the model, it’s already been published and is mostly open source. Open source llms are the way, fuck closedAI

Not only would it be the greatest irony, it would be the best outcome for humanity. Fuck ClosedAI

Thanks for the suggestion, looks like a good service. I might switch!

I was just looking into getting this setup for my partner

How is it pump and dump? These companies aren’t publicly traded.
