The first time I had to drink one of these before surgery, I had no problems with it. I was stopped up pretty bad a couple of weeks later and got another bottle; it had done such a great job the first time. Drank half the bottle and then immediately vomited. I guess my body remembered what the liquid did and got a little ahead of itself.

Oh yeah, 16 GB of VRAM is a strange spot to be in. Most of the focus goes onto the models that fit in 24 GB cards.

Qwen 3.6 35b-a3b is pretty solid when you don't have enough VRAM for a dense model. Most of the weights can be left in RAM and it still runs really quickly.

Since you mention using Ollama, you probably aren't running actual deepseek on your pc. Ollama took a Qwen model that was finetuned using deepseek output and named it deepseek.

Those are pretty out of date models at this point. Right now, the model most people would recommend for consumer gaming hardware is Qwen 3.6 27b.

My phone is in my lap while driving all the time because I take it out of my back pocket to not squish it when sitting down and I don't have anywhere else to put it. Usually I remember to tuck it down beneath my legs, but sometimes I forget.

$250 from 5 donations? Textbooks must've gotten a lot cheaper since I went to college if you can get them with that kind of money.

Windows computers aren't the only type of computers to freeze. I've had to hold down power to shutdown my MacBook and my Linux desktop. It's usually GPU related. The Intel macbook I used to used would freeze if you plugged it into a monitor while it was sleeping (it was using the Intel gpu before it went to sleep and then tried to output to the amd gpu after being woken up before the gpu was ready). About once a month my Linux desktop will freeze after waking up from sleep and I'll have to hit the reboot button on the front panel.

It looks like a kitchen backsplash. The tiled counter the other poster suggested would make more sense, since I don't see how they'd have the burritos floating against the wall. Also the wood edge is weird. Doesnt make sense for a floor or for a backsplash.

That's the best time to hear the words. You most likely haven't set up anything that will be broken by the changes. Sometimes you get a "yep, that doesn't affect me" and sometimes you get a "Wow, I'm glad they changed that. That sounded awful."

Well yeah, it's a myth pushed by fossil fuel companies and climate change deniers. I was just saying I'm surprised you haven't anyone say it, it was the biggest 'gotcha' people would try to use when pushing back against EV adoption for years.

I'm surprised you haven't heard the opposite. It's wrong, but a really common talking point for a while was buying an EV wasn't actually good because of the pollution involved in manufacturing the car. Then a few years later they updated the rhetoric to talk about the minerals mined for batteries. I assume it was pushed by Fossil Fuel companies.

This The Guardian article mentions the minerals one. You can see an example of The Daily Telegraph pushing the myths with the headline: "Electric cars are made of pollution and human misery."

If we triple the lines of code produced, the number of LinkedIn posts made, and the number of garbage AI images generated, everyone will be able to afford a house and food will become so cheap it might as well be free.

This is for the drive-thru, so you aren't punching in what you want. You are looking out of your car window and saying what you want into a microphone for someone to jot down. This is trying to replace the employee taking the order.
